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.

Package: fwupd
Version: 1.5.7-4

Dear maintainer,

The fwupd package on Devuan only ships systemd services and timers.
To be functional on Devuan it should ship sysvinit scripts and a refresh cron job, instead.

I verified this "bug" to occur on beowulf and chimaera.
