 src/etc/motd is no more since 
 
   revision 1.4

   motd needs to be re-generated when DISTRIBVER changes, so change he
   Makefile to use the new ${_NETBSD_VERSION_DEPENDS} mechanism defined in
   bsd.own.mk.
 
   Rename the default motd file in the source tree from "motd" to
   "motd.default", because otherwise it would conflict with the motd file
   that is now created in the .OBJDIR.
 
 We have quite a number of different motd files (current, stable, beta,
 rc, release).  etcupdate dodges this by running make distribution in
 src/etc and lets existing makefile logic to decide which one to use.
