I put it in the init script such that it would be easy for an administrator to "stop" update-motd from running, by removing the script from /etc/cron.d.

And the "start" restores the /etc/cron.d script by regenerating the script from the template in /usr/share, and reading the $FREQ_IN_MIN established by debconf question in /etc/default/update-motd.
