Bug Description
Binary package hint: manpages
motd(5) says: "The contents of this file are regenerated upon every system boot based on the contents of /etc/motd.tail." This is not true anymore, as Ubuntu uses the update-motd framework. Any reference to motd.tail should be replaced with a reference to the update-motd framework or update-motd(5). The manpage for motd.tail should be removed.

/etc/update- motd.d/ 99-footer will still pull in /etc/motd.tail if it exists.
I don't see any reason why this would change or why this requires documentation to be removed and/or changed.
