We no longer ship the 99-esm file, so we shouldn't be affected by this issue anymore.
Additionally, I have double checked the new update-motd scripts we deliver and I can confirm they will not break the system if the user just removes the packages, since we have a check that prevent invalid files from being read, for example, this is the output of our 88-esm-announce script:
