I just had this same problem minutes ago, but by doing a grep on /etc for motd, I noticed that there is a variable called EDITMOTD in the file rcS of /etc/default that is set to yes automatically.
./default/rcS:# Set EDITMOTD to "no" if you don't want /etc/motd to be editted automatically ./default/rcS:EDITMOTD=no Wesley A.
