So you intend to change the subpackaging for Fedora 33? Please don't. The
animated backgrounds should remain in a subpackage so that they are only
installed on those desktop environments that actually support the animations
and do not waste space everywhere else.
Backgrounds are a significant source of bloat for our live images (also
because JPEG images are already compressed and hence are not or only barely
compressible by xz (or zstd or whatever)). So it is really important to not
install variants that will not actually be used.
