Title:
  groovy debootstrap leaves /e/d/motd-news.wasremoved around

Status in base-files package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  When debootstrapping groovy, we see an empty /etc/default/motd-
  news.wasremoved file.

  - groovy: base-files 11ubuntu12
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 set 11 10:20 /etc/default/motd-news.wasremoved

  If motd-news-config is later installed, maybe via ubuntu-server, then
  the presence of this file will disable motd-news by default, which is
  unintended as it's meant to be enabled on a server.
