Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: edubuntu-artwork

The edubuntu-artwork packages is currently about 6MB large. The bulk of
this is consumed by the wallpapers in the package. We plan to add some
more wallpapers to make the desktop experience more exciting and
engaging for people between the ages of 6 and 18.

Splitting the wallpapers up to a -wallpapers package will allow users to
get bug fixes without having to download several megabytes of data that
always stays the same. It also reduces load on build systems and space
required on mirrors.

We will require a feature freeze exception in order to do this in time
for the Ubuntu 10.10 release. This also serves as the FFE bug.
