I understand how confusing this whole situation can be, believe me :)

motd-news appearing is the desired outcome when motd-news-config is installed(*), that's there this file belongs now. It was moved from base-files to motd-news-config, and all this maintainer script complication is to handle this move.

(*) further complicated by some scenarios: a) the user disabled motd-news before, in which case we want to preserve that modification. Or b) if the user removed the file before, in which case we want to install a disabled version of it.
