Landscape client motd updater refers to wrong LS server when using LDS

This message is generally intended to machines which don't use landscape client just yet. So I'm wondering what the proper thing to do: should we just remove the message if the machine is registered is Landscape? Or do you see value in the message staying there, but pointing to the proper URL?

Either way works for me, as it is its misleading at best as it is. There's probably minor value to leave it in with the correct URL if its possible, but otherwise removing it works too. You'd hope if someone had registered it they know where to find the data, but its a quick way to get to the website if the URL is there.

Landscape Team

I don't believe motd should point to the url of the landscape server when in a self-hosted environment, and also shouldn't point to landscape.canonical.com, as it currently does. If you look at the "Support" item in motd, it points to https://ubuntu.com/pro, which is the marketing page for pro. Following this approach, the item for Landscape should point to https://ubuntu.com/landscape, which is the marketing page for Landscape.

The Landscape team can't make changes to this part of the motd, so changing the project to no longer be "landscape-client".

| $ ls /etc/update-motd.d/50-landscape-sysinfo -la
| lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 Jul 16 15:49 /etc/update-motd.d/50-landscape-sysinfo -> /usr/share/landscape/landscape-sysinfo.wrapper
| $ dpkg-query -S /usr/share/landscape/landscape-sysinfo.wrapper
| landscape-common: /usr/share/landscape/landscape-sysinfo.wrapper

This comes from the `landscape-common` package which is part of `landscape-client`, see:

| https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/landscape-client

It's not base-files.

I think it's in `/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/landscape/sysinfo/landscapelink.py` where LandscapeLink has:

```
    def run(self):
        self._sysinfo.add_footnote(
            "Graph this data and manage this system at:\n"
            " https://landscape.canonical.com/")
        return succeed(None)
```
