Some review comments:
- postinst: use lt-nl instead of lt for --compare-versions
- prerm: You should be able to drop this entirely; conffiles are automatically
removed on purge
- there should be a preinst which makes sure you don't get a dpkg conffile

Well, I thought it would be a good idea to remove the cronjob even on
just a normal removal (in addition to a purge). Once the binary

Hi Martin-
I just uploaded update-motd_1.3, hopefully addressing all of your
concerns, and preserving most of the functionality that I really wanted
to keep.
You can see the changelog in the last 2 uploads for per-file change

Notice that the init script sources /etc/default/update-motd, where it
should obtain $FREQ_IN_MIN.
To change /etc/cron.d/update-motd, the administrator could either dpkg-
reconfigure update-motd, or edit /etc/default/update-motd directly

The configuration file handling in here needs to be fixed. At the
moment, the init script does
sed s/FREQ_IN_MIN/$FREQ_IN_MIN/ /usr/share/update-motd/update-
motd.cron /etc/cron.d/update-motd
unconditionally. This overwrites the admin's changes without checking or
confirmation.
