Title:
  Please show MOTD in containers' shell started without PAM printing
  MOTD

Status in update-motd:
  New
Status in update-motd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in update-motd source package in Eoan:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

    * Users of containers may never see the MOTD of the container if they are always to the container's shell without PAM being involved.
    * MOTD contains important information about the system's health including the security updates to be installed thus it is desired to show MOTD in container shells, too.
    * The fix is creating a snippet in /etc/profile.d which shows, but not necessarily updates MOTD once a day.

  [Test Case]

   * Install show-motd in an LXC container.
   * Observe MOTD shown when starting the container shell with
     $ lxc shell <container name>

  [Regression Potential]

   * The new functionality is added in a new package, shown-motd, thus users of update-motd should not observe any regression.
   * The change in update-motd is adding the --show-only optional option. Both the new and old code patch is exercised in autopkgtest and should be safe.

  [Other Info]

   * The fix relies on PAM setting MOTD_SHOWN=pam to avoid printing MOTD
  twice.
