Package: login
Version: 1:4.1.0-2
Severity: minor
Man page says
After a successful login, you will be informed of any system messages
and the presence of mail. You may turn off the printing of the system
message file, /etc/motd, by creating a zero-length file .hushlogin in
your login directory. The mail message will be one of "You have new
mail.", "You have mail.", or "No Mail." according to the condition of
your mailbox.
But this assumes people have not graduated to Maildirs.
So then it will always say No Mail.
And where it thinks people are putting their mail is not even mentioned.
