Title:
  base-files: /etc/update-motd.d/* should be conffiles

Status in “base-files” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  base-files (5.0.0ubuntu20.10.04.4) installs the following files in
  /etc:

    /etc/update-motd.d/00-header
    /etc/update-motd.d/10-help-text
    /etc/update-motd.d/99-footer

  but it does not list them as conffiles, so upgrades to base-files
  clobber any local changes (e.g. I tend to comment out the help text on
  servers where I offer my own documentation).

  Please add these to debian/conffiles.

  The same may apply to /etc/legal, unless this has been intentionally
  omitted.
