[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#437176: update-motd should be in debian ...

[Victor Pablos Ceruelo]

IMHO, it is not only useful for showing dynamic logos, but info on 
updates available and/or system restart required msgs.

Ubuntu has update-motd and is really useful to see system load, needed 
updates and necessity of restarting system just when you log into the 
machine.

It is really useful:
