The important thing here is not whether the file is required to exist, but if it actually exists on a Debian system having only the build-essential packages installed. It is possible that this has not been the case in the past at some time, but currently, it is. The file /etc/motd is present on every chroot created by debootstrap, and it's therefore present on autobuilders, which is where the file should be present. Also, a source-only upload of this package succeeds in every released architecture: https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=icon Moreover, upstream does not use /etc/motd anymore in version 9.5.1, so I would recommend Ubuntu not bother forking icon just because of this (unless debootstrap on Ubuntu creates chroots not having a /etc/motd file, that is). Thanks.
