It's possible that you upgraded your base-files package from a version
older than 5.0.0ubuntu13. In its postinst script, it does:
...
if [ "$1" = "configure" ]&& [ "$2" != "" ]; then
if [ -f /etc/motd.tail ]; then
if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt-nl 5.0.0ubuntu13; then
# motd.tail is no longer generated by this package;
# rather, the sysadmin can use motd.tail to append
# text to the pam_motd dynamically generated motd
mv -f /etc/motd.tail /etc/motd.tail.old
# Clear out old MOTD, will be regenerated on next login
rm -f /var/run/motd
fi
fi
