It shouldn't recreate that file if the admin has removed it.
(It should also point at /run rather than /var/run, but that's a more
minor matter.)

.
[ Roger Leigh ]
* initscripts:
- Don't generate or touch /etc/motd. Instead, the dynamic part of
/etc/motd is created as /run/motd.dynamic, leaving /etc/motd
entirely under the control of the system administrator. If
/etc/motd is a symlink to /run/motd, /etc/motd.tail is moved
back to /etc/motd. Closes: #353229, #624391, #668307. /etc/motd
is not removed if initscripts is purged, since it's not owned by
initscripts.
- By default, /run/motd is just the output of uname, preserving the
existing behaviour. However, should the administrator wish to
include dynamic information in the motd, they may write scripts
to update /run/motd.dynamic as they please. Closes: #437176.
- motd generation is split from bootlogs into a separate motd
init script.
- bootlogs init script has been removed; current logging daemons
handle this themselves, making this script redundant.
- tmpfs mounts are never cleaned by bootclean.sh. Cleaning /run
can lead to nonfunctional input when Xorg starts. Closes: #669949.
* sysvinit-utils:
- Suggest rather than Recommend bootlogd; Recommends would effectively
.
[ Kel Modderman ]
* sysv-rc:
- Run check_divert in postinst to make sure /usr/sbin/update-rc.d
not symlinked to /usr/sbin/update-rc.d-insserv. Closes: #670085.
.
[ Steve Langasek ]
* Install the startpar bridge now that dh_installinit in Debian handles
this. Closes: #660824.
* Give startpar a listening backlog on its socket for upstart connections,
since there's no protocol-level queuing for unix sockets and these
connections tend to come in fast and furious at boot.
