The NEW package (motd-news-config) needs to be accepted, and needs to go
into main. I believe an archive admin needs to intervene. Also, ubuntu-
meta needs to be accepted together with this.

There is this comment next to the uptime grabbing:
# Some messages may only be pertinent before or after some amount of uptime
read up idle < /proc/uptime
uptime="uptime/$up/$idle"
As far as I know, this was never used, as the server serves static
content.
