[Bug 771395] Re: update-motd.d/10-help-text has an incomplete check for ubuntu server systems

[Colin Watson]

Please can we instead consolidate the documentation, and remove this
client-side conditionalisation which I don't think can ever really be
made correct?

Title:
  update-motd.d/10-help-text has an incomplete check for ubuntu server
  systems

Status in “base-files” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: base-files

  I'd just finished installing ubuntu-server i386 and was surprised to
  discover that after logging in I was presented with a link to
  help.ubuntu.com instead of www.ubuntu.com/server.  This is because the
  help text script is just looking for '-server' in the output of uname
  and there is no -server kernel for i386.

  From 10-help-text:

  URL="https://help.ubuntu.com/"
  if uname -r | grep -qs "\-server"; then
  	URL="http://www.ubuntu.com/server/doc"
  fi
