I commented out the two echo lines to resolve the issue:
# output something for update-motd
if [ -n "$NEED_EOL_CHECK" ]; then
# preserve mtime to avoid race when script runs while dpkg runs
touch ${stamp}.started
{
#echo ""
# the script may exit with status 10 when a HWE update is needed
/usr/bin/hwe-support-status || true
#echo ""
} > $stamp
touch -r ${stamp}.started $stamp
rm -f ${stamp}.started
fi
Looking at the output of hwe-support-status we can see that it already uses a
blank line at the start of it's output and finishes with one too so the echoes
in /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-hwe-eol are redundant.
