Merge ~ahasenack/ubuntu/+source/base-files:bionic-motd-news-config-split into ubuntu/+source/base-files:ubuntu/bionic-devel

This is ready for review

I pushed a change I found out while testing the groovy package: motd-news-config has to have priority set to optional, otherwise it will inherit base-files' which is "required" and do-release-upgrade will install it regardless of dependencies.

Change matches what we had in Groovy and soon Focal.
Additional change for priority is good as well.
Versions are good as well for an SRU and the bug LGTM as well.

The breaks and rm_conffile versions are adapted correctly and the maintscript lines LGTM, but we really need to land the meta change at the same time to avoid some updaters to remove packages or even ubuntu-server.

+1 to this in general, but I found one triviality to fix.
The changelog entries got carried over without line-wrap. So you violate the 80 chars in two lines and tools like lintian will hate it.

Fix is trivial enough, you don't need a re-review for the CL changes - therefore approving now.

I'm sorry, the longest d/changelog lines I see are at 75 chars:

  * motd/50-motd-news: use wget instead of curl, since wget is standard but

and

    - This changes the timeout behavior slightly because wget does not have

I ran lintian -I --pedantic and the only changelog issues it raiesd were on older entries:

P: base-files source: file-contains-trailing-whitespace debian/changelog (line 1678)
P: base-files source: file-contains-trailing-whitespace debian/changelog (line 915)

Ah, it's in the xenial MP that the lines passed 80 columns.

The seed change will also happen, but since it involves a new package, the update script from ubuntu-meta won't pick it up, so I have to add the dep manually.
