Hi Andreas,
The file /etc/news/motd.news is renamed to /etc/news/motd.nnrpd by the
innupgrade script shipped by upstream.
Should this renaming by upstream be marked as a removal in the
maintainter scripts?
/etc/news/motd.nnrpd is no longer shipped as a conffile?
/etc/news/motd.nnrpd and /etc/news/motd.innd are two new conf files
shipped with INN 2.5.3.
/etc/news/motd.news is no longer used.
How is it generated (if at all)?
During a fresh install, motd.nnrpd and motd.innd are the two files shipped
in the inn2 tarball.
During an update, motd.innd is not installed. And motd.news (if present)
is moved to motd.nnrpd. So motd.nnrpd can be present or not.
INN works fine without the two files, don't worry. They are just "message
of the day" informative files.
If it were still a conffile shipped by inn2,
dpkg-maint-script-helper mv_conffile
would be the correct tool.
And how is the new file being cleaned up on purge if it exists?
I do not know. I do not know much about Debian scripts.
I bet Marco will answer better!
