  Bug #1888575 in base-files (Ubuntu): "Split motd-news config into a new package"
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-files/+bug/1888575

For more details, see:
https://code.launchpad.net/~ahasenack/ubuntu-seeds/+git/ubuntu-seeds/+merge/388402

See https://code.launchpad.net/~ahasenack/ubuntu/+source/base-files/+git/base-files/+merge/388400 for details.

The overall plan is to have motd-news only enabled on server systems after this upgrade. What it does:
- the /etc/default/motd-news config file is moved from base-files to a NEW package motd-news-config. If it has modifications, they are preserved
- ubuntu-server has a dependency on motd-news-config (this MP)
- new base-files breaks old ubuntu-server, forcing an upgrade if it is installed

This MP cannot land until motd-news-config is accepted into the archive.
