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

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

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
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.

- -- System Information:
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

Versions of packages initscripts depends on:
ii  coreutils       8.13-3.2
ii  debianutils     4.3.1
ii  libc6           2.13-33
ii  lsb-base        4.1+Debian6
ii  mount           2.20.1-5

It shouldn't be like that in wheezy (yet).  But there was a bug in
base-files.  In unstable, initscripts replaces /etc/init.d/bootlogs
with /etc/init.d/motd.  Note also the changes to /etc/pam.d/(ssh|login).

Regards,
Roger

Which version of base-files fixed what issue exactly? What changes to
PAM behavior?  How do I investigate this?
