 Good catch!

 This only should happen if installing from source (i.e. sets should
 provide the proper etc/motd file).

 postinstall(8) has not been updated to varying motd sources depending
 on beta/current/... state of the source.

 Maybe if "${SRC_DIR}/etc/motd" does not exist, assume we have a full source
 environment and proper tools available and do

   cd "${SRC_DIR}/etc/" && ${MAKE} -v MOTD_SOURCE

 to get the proper name?

 Interesting too is that postinstall regards the fix of motd as a success.
