Bug#677898: initscripts: motd fails to be generated after upgrade to Wheezy

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-22.1
Severity: important

Hash: SHA256

Since upgrading to Wheezy, this host no longer produces /var/run/motd upon bootup, as a result of which only 'lastlog' output is displayed upon login. /etc/motd.tail has the stock content provided by pkg:base-files. Manually executing /etc/init.d/bootlogs as root succeeds, which suggests that the problem is somewhere else. Likewise, the script is linked via /etc/rc2.d/, so this is not it either. Help to find the cause of this issue is welcome.

Debian Release: wheezy/sid
APT prefers testing
APT policy: (500, 'testing')
Architecture: i386 (i686)

Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core)
Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
