I think the remaining scenario is (b) (look up in the bug description),
and (c) is just a wildcard scenario ("anything else I didn't think of").
For (b), I think the more likely case would be another base-files SRU without
the fix from this bug here, and where the user would have:
- base-files installed
- motd-news-config NOT installed
- ubuntu-server NOT installed
In that scenario, the base-files postinst would create /etc/default
/motd-news.wasremoved, with the consequence that a follow-up install of
ubuntu-server/motd-news-config would install the motd-news config with
ENABLED=0 instead of ENABLED=1.
It's also possible the above would happen on a release upgrade, if only
base-files is installed to begin with. That would ugrade base-files to
the version in the next release, effectively behaving like just a base-
files upgrade, and create the .wasremoved file as well.
** Changed in: base-files (Ubuntu Xenial)

** Changed in: base-files (Ubuntu Bionic)
Status: Incomplete => In Progress
** Changed in: base-files (Ubuntu Focal)
