Checking for a new ubuntu release
No new release found
*** System restart required ***

The second half is actually correctly updated. What confused me is the
first half which is stale: when there are no packages to be updated the
second half does not report "0 packages can be updated" so I was left
with "59 packages can be updated".

The first half is the content of /etc/motd.tail; I suppose that's the
problem. /etc/motd symlinked to /var/run/motd contains both halves. How
does motd.tail get initialized during the install?
