This problem persists for me, even after installing 2.87dsf-4ubuntu17.4.
I have Ubuntu 10.04.1.
motd.tail does not exist, but I still get duplicate MOTD. Even when I
set PrintMotd no, in sshd_config, it prints the MOTD, twice.

For the Lucid SRU:
Impact of bug: upon ssh'ing in or otherwise logging into a machine and
being presented with the motd banner, you will see a double banner. One
comes from /etc/motd symlinked to /var/run/motd, which is normal. The
other comes from a bogus copy put into /etc/motd.tail.
Package
Verified that the patch works as intended on a Lucid VM. If the bogus
/etc/motd.tail file exists, it gets removed, and no new bogus
/etc/motd.tail file is created. Uploaded to lucid-proposed.

In that case, you might want to add a brief mention in the changelog
entry that people who are already seeing the "doubled" messages can fix
them by removing/emptying the motd.tail file manually

After chatting with slangasek on irc, we've agreed that the approach in
the debdiff I attached here in comment #23 is the safest way to go.
I'll upload that to lucid-proposed soon.

@Kees: I can think of a possible reason why initscripts.postinst copies
the /etc/motd to /etc/motd.tail. Consider someone using their own custom
motd in /etc/motd. Upgrading would cause initscripts to clobber this.

The motd message was somehow placed into /etc/motd.tail which is added
to the end of /etc/motd with a cat append command if the /etc/motd.tail
file exists. This duplicates the bulk of the standard message and in my
case a second erroneous message saying updates are waiting to be
installed.

Looks like upgrade process inexplicably copies /etc/motd to
/etc/motd.tail. /etc/motd.tail gets appended to the generated motd file.
Just remove it. The rc.d script only appends it if the file exists.
