Sorry for the multiple postings, I think this is the last one ;)

The duplication seems to be coming from the tail file:

andreas@duo:~$ ls -la /etc/motd*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 2010-07-10 21:34 /etc/motd -> /var/run/motd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 84 2010-10-14 10:30 /etc/motd.tail

andreas@duo:~$ cat /etc/motd.tail
Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS

Welcome to Ubuntu!

If I remove the /etc/update-motd.d/99-footer script (or the /etc/motd.tail file), then there is no duplication.
