etckeeper is an application designed to keep your entire /etc under 
version control. By default it uses git, but can use others. It hooks 
into apt (and dpkg?) to trap all changes to /etc and also deals with 
file permissions (very important for things like the passwd file).

It is a very good tool for what you seem to be asking.
