It's always disappointed me that Ubuntu has only shipped with one wallpaper usually. I think that, officially, we should approach a website such as deviantart.com (it's where I normally get my wallpapers) and ask for potential wallpaper artwork that could be bundled along with the distro for people to pick - photos, abstract, 3d etc. For most people I am sure the kudos would be enough but you could offer prizes of signed cd's or something.
Obviously the quality level for entry would be extremely high, but I have no doubt that if we appeal to the community we could get at least a dozen high quality wallpapers very easily.
