Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-motd

See:
 * https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/landscape-client/+bug/270862/comments/15

update-motd is sending mail that says:

Subject: Cron <root@> /usr/sbin/update-motd 2>/dev/null
update-motd is disabled. You can run:
  * update-motd --force
  * service update-motd start
  * dpkg-reconfigure update-motd

This message should be written to stderr.
