What I was thinking is whether we could have one *source* package that
generates all the binary packages (so one source for f34-backgrounds,
f35-backgrounds, f36-backgrounds etc).

Sure, it'd be quite big, but we have other big source packages. With
smart use of macros it should be possible to set it up so you can just
change one macro number to add a new source package for a new release,
maybe...

We could also go back and look at all the ideas we've had in the past
for improving things here, as we've definitely been over it before...
