If you don't want the system changing your motd, then it should be enough to
remove the /etc/motd symlink to /var/run/motd and maintain /etc/motd as a
static file.
That won't stop the scripts in /etc/update-motd.d from running; if you wish,
you can remove these files to eliminate the overhead of generating the
/var/run/motd you aren't using.
