@paelzer I've uploaded update-motd adding ubuntu-advantage-tools as a
test dependency, because it is accidental that it is already installed
on test images.

The apt-file check is not ideal, because it lists packages which are in 
-proposed but pinning does not allow them to be installed. As a mitigation I've 
retried all affected tests with ubuntu-advantage-tools also added as a trigger. 
The apt-file results could be filtered by taking pinning 
into consideration, but this would not be perfect easily either, thus I think 
it is not worth it.

Yes, SRU-ing a test-only fix is not ideal either. The tests are there to
ensure that update-motd scripts can be run as a normal user which is
done on WSL: https://balintreczey.hu/blog/introducing-show-motd-message-
of-the-day-for-wsl-and-container-shells/ . An alternative of testing
every script by update-motd would be generating similar tests for every
package shipping and update-motd script.
