Bug description:
  landscape-common has an MOTD component called landscape-sysinfo.
  Historically that used update-motd to display cached information.
  update-motd has been deprecated in favor of pam_motd, but landscape-
  common was never changed accordingly.

  The situation we have now in landscape-common's debconf is:
  - "Cache sysinfo in /etc/motd": places a symlink in /etc/update-motd.d. With pam_motd, there is no cache, so that script is called on every login.
  - "Run sysinfo on every login": places the same symlink in /etc/profile.d, removes the one from /etc/update-motd.d. End result is the same as before: script is called on every login
  - "Do not display sysinfo on login": remove /etc/profile.d and /etc/update-motd.d symlinks. This is the only option that is currently working as advertised.
