This gist includes an enhancement to Debian's snapper package.
The current (as of 2023-07-23) snapper package includes an apt configuration that will automatically take snapper snapshots when you use apt to install/remove/etc. It will add use "apt" as the description of the pre/post snapshot.
With the below changes to the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/80snapper file and associated dpkg-pre-post-snapper.sh file, snapper will include the full apt command, including the arguments, in the snapshot description.
Updated on 5/5/2026 to support apt, apt-get, and plasma-discover PIDs.
Updated on 5/22/2026 to append Architectures: amd64 to the end of the google-chrome apt sources list when replaced with an update, but ignores if google chrome is not installed or is unchanged.
