Andreas - I love rsnapshot and have some backups that are very much dependent on it. I feel it doesn't provide all the features of etckeeper. Specifically it generally doesn't keep all changes and it doesn't automagically kick off after package management changes.
rsnapshot does provide an important additional feature, namely off-system backups. You can use git to get the off-system backup, but rsnapshot is also a great option for that.
