The patch that Barry uploaded probably makes this info
obsolete, but just in case something delays that
package from being released (or whatever), I'll
mention that the troublesome section of the
sysvinit.postinst script only runs if motd.tail does
not exist.

So, you can get a "one time manual fix" by emptying
out the motd.tail file but leaving that empty file
there (rather than deleting it completely).
