motd is still there in /etc/motd. 
The problem is that you only see it if you login to a Ubuntu machine
via the console...

$ cat /etc/motd
Linux home 2.6.8.1-3-686 #1 Thu Nov 18 12:19:06 UTC 2004 i686 GNU/Linux


Which bring another question: which process modify that file?  My file
is dated from the time of my last reboot. Obviously if I ever manually
add anything in it, it will be clobbered at the next reboot.
