When debootstrapping groovy, we see an empty /etc/default/motd-news.wasremoved file.

- groovy: base-files 11ubuntu12
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 set 11 10:20 /etc/default/motd-news.wasremoved

If motd-news-config is later installed, maybe via ubuntu-server, then the presence of this file will disable motd-news by default, which is unintended as it's meant to be enabled on a server.
