  I'm certainly not going to play don Quixote against Debian packaging policies. I currently don't even have time to review KWin changes...

  Debian tends to change the wallpaper late in the cycle. I cannot tell you how the wallpaper will look like together with this change. I can tell you that Debian will ship it broken and their policies will make it impossible to change once the freeze is in place. And I can tell you that Debian will certainly not adjust the lnf package. Nobody looks at the big picture - there's a team doing keep packaging and a team doing wallpapers. Expecting them to work together seems unreasonable. Apparently the ice team does not even have influence on what's getting installed in a default ice install, because that's another team.
  
  Welcome to the reality of distros. And in many other distros it doesn't look different. Most distros are understaffed and only do packaging. Nobody will notice if this breaks till it's too late. And then we will get the blame for doing such  a change. And we cannot say we didn't know.
