Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:6.6p1-8
As of systemd 208-7, the motd init script is masked and no longer runs
at boot. login was updated to replace its use of /run/motd.dynamic with
a pam_exec invocation:
| # Prints the message of the day upon succesful login.
| # (Replaces the `MOTD_FILE' option in login.defs)
| session optional pam_exec.so type=open_session stdout /bin/uname -snrvm
| session optional pam_motd.so
Please consider doing the same in openssh-server's pam configuration.
Thanks,

[Cleaning up old bugs I have submitted over the years.]
On a current Debian system, motd handling is as I would expect it:
sshd's PAM configuration uses pam_motd, and update-motd outputs the
uname by default, as was the case before the change in 2014 which
prompted this bug report.
I'm therefore closing this one. If anything remains to be done about
openssh-server's motd support, we can always reopen or file a new bug.
