This bug was fixed in the package sysvinit - 2.87dsf-4ubuntu17.4
---------------
sysvinit (2.87dsf-4ubuntu17.4) lucid-proposed; urgency=low
* debian/initscripts.postinst
Do not tail /etc/motd to /etc/motd.tail if the former is a symlink.
This prevents double motd banners on login. Also, take from the
Oneiric version of the file, a stanza to remove /etc/motd.tail if it
appears to be a double banner. If this does not get automatically
cleaned up for you and you're still seeing the double banner, just
remove /etc/motd.tail manually. It won't come back. (LP: #659738)
