Comment # 13 on bug 1133929 from
Thorsten Kukuk: Yes, it is how rpm works.

But if /etc/motd.rpmsave is created by rpm, then the motd was modified by
sysadmin. (Otherwise it would be silently deleted.)

As in this particular case, there is nothing to merge manually, and "Have a lot
of fun..." did not change for a long time, I propose to add to the release spec
file:

%posttrans
# /etc/motd was modified by sysadmin. Keep it as it is.
if test -f /etc/motd.rpmsave ; then
    mv /etc/motd.rpmsave /etc/motd
fi
