Ditto here, /etc/motd.tail is not owned by any package.

Dustin, thanks for clarifying how things work now. The pam_motd(8) man page says nothing about doing run-parts stuff, so I'll file a bug against libpam-modules to get that documented. Do you see the goings-on in /etc/init/mounted-varrun.conf as a problem?

I suspect that /etc/motd.tail might be getting generated by the alternate installer (which is the only one I've used so far). I'll see if I can confirm this.
