Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: libpam-modules
Although I deleted /etc/motd.tail, a recent upgrade using aptitude
recreated it (presumably some package's post-install script created it).
This is annoying because its contents is as follows:
$ cat /etc/motd.tail
Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
Welcome to Ubuntu!
* Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/
This is a duplicate of information printed by the scripts in /etc
/update-motd.d/, so some info is printed twice when I log in:
Linux eventbookingonline 2.6.32.16-linode28 #1 SMP [...snip...]
Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS
Welcome to Ubuntu!
* Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/
Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS

Surely this is wrong: as I understand it, /etc/motd.tail is supposed to
be for static content added by the local system-administrator and should
not be touched by scripts.
