Bug Description
Binary package hint: base-files
When logging into a lucid-server virtual machine, the MOTD message contains duplicate information about documentation:
For official documentation, please visit:
* http://
Welcome to Ubuntu!
* Documentation: https:/
The first two lines come from /etc/update-
The second documentation reference comes from /etc/update-
I'm guessing that since the VM is only running the generic kernel (not the server kernel), its printing out the normal documentation URL from 10-help-text instead of the serverguide URL.
I don't think that the same documentation/help URL needs to be printed out twice in the MOTD on login.

Duplicate documentation URLs in general are a problem right now in Lucid Beta1. Here's what I see on logging into my minimal/desktop install:
