There are many alternatives here. What you describe is one, and you
could then also add a systemd override with that exec check. A bit
cumbersome, though.

Another one is specific to this service, and that is to set ENABLED=0 in
/etc/default/motd-news.

I think fixing this doesn't warrant an SRU, but should be considered for
the devel release of ubuntu (groovy at the moment).
