Title:
  motd(5) mentions motd.tail which isn't avaialble anymore

Status in “manpages” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: manpages

  motd(5) says: "The  contents of this file are regenerated upon every
  system boot based on the contents of /etc/motd.tail." This is not true
  anymore, as Ubuntu uses the update-motd framework. Any reference to
  motd.tail should be replaced with a reference to the update-motd
  framework or update-motd(5). The manpage for motd.tail should be
  removed.
