The tests fail when /etc/motd is missing, which from my understanding is not
required to exist.

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.
