You are absolutely right and I apologise again.
The files are in fact explicitly deleted from the install tree by
debian/rules and this change was made by our maintainer in the 2.5.2 -
2.5.3 packaging.
But this makes me still more reluctant to change it as it is not the
subject of the present bug, and fixes during freeze are supposed to be
as minimal as possible and only to address the actual RC problem.

Myself I still don't see the point of installing an motd file that says,
effectively, "this is a default so disregard it". But I think we will
have to leave that point for Marco to decide on once Wheezy is released.
