AFAICS, the systemd timer to update motd requires manual activation by the
sysadmin, so Debian maintainers agree with you on this! See data/motd/README.md
in the source.

Devuan doesn't currently fork this package, so maybe the best solution is to
submit a cron fragment to Debian for inclusion in contrib or similar.
