What is your concern with shipping a simple executable shell script? base-files was suggested because it's the package that currently ships our default static motd text. While I don't personally have a preference on the place that uname call should be (if anywhere!), I do think that keeping all of Debian's motd default contents -whether a static blob of text or dynamic scripts- in one place would make the most sense.
