1.) Whether the name is hard to guess or not, is quite subjective.
Personally, I think wallpaper makes more sense than background.
2.) Upstream KDE calls this package "Plasma Workspace Wallpapers", so
that's what we are using as well unless there is a good reason not to.
3.) The other packages you mentioned are called like that upstream, i.e.
Gnome is calling it gnome-backgrounds, Mate is calling it mate-
backgrounds etc. KDE made the decision to call it wallpapers instead of
backgrounds.
With that said, I'm leaning towards closing this unless you want to keep
it open...
