This is the existing behavior of update-motd from the update-motd
package, unchanged since 2009, which does the following:
if run-parts --lsbsysinit /etc/update-motd.d > /var/run/motd.new; then
if mv -f /var/run/motd.new /var/run/motd; then
cat /var/run/motd
exit 0
else
echo "ERROR: could not install new MOTD" 1>&2
exit 1
fi
fi
So the update-motd command installs the new motd, and then cats it to
stdout.
landscape-common should not need to call update-motd as part of the
maintainer script, as the rest of the system is intended to ensure the
dynamic motd shown at login is always current.
