each wallpaper for a release is in a new package for each release.
This allows someone to install the older or newer wallpapers on their
system if they wish. prior to f21, these packages were named by the
codename, but with f21 not having a codename, the name of the package
itself has 21 in it, not the version (the package names all start
with f21-backgrounds)

Not true exactly. Supplemental wallpapers are all in a big single
package (one per release). If you're gonna ship "top-15" it's
definitely gonna be a problem.

In order for the package not to break users' set-ups during upgrades
we would need each of the top-15 wallpapers in a single package which
would then the top-15 one require so that the package would stay and
new ones would be pulled in. But then the wallpaper poll would keep
growing with each update...

The idea here is that the top 15 won't change from release to release. We may update the default 15 sometime in the future, but at this point in time, the 15 will just be from the previous ones.

Another option would be to just remove the supplemental (if it is in the top 15) from the supplemental package that it is in. The are the defaults, so they will always be there, and if the user installs the supplemental package they are from, then they just get the remaining ones from that supplemental release.

The other option is that duplicates are shown if the user installs the supplemental package that contains one that is now a default one of the 15.

I assume this might have happened between a beta / final step where
the package name will not change, but the name of the file it ships
might. But this shouldnt happen between versions.

Next to impossible for desktop/cinnamon, mate or kde, unless you choose
pngs/jpegs directly instead of the provided xml/desktop files with
proper descriptions (and updates filenames, should they change),
possible for xfce/lxde.

Martin
