My plan at the moment is to remove all three images from the
wallpapers-common package, that way they won't popup if somebody wants
to just install a 'wallpapers-foo' package and only see that.
So using your package would be a perfect way of doing that simply!
I've just mailed the producer of the previously mentioned Debian images
at 73labs.com to ask for permission to include those images in a
-debian package, and for clarification of licensing terms.
Those and the 'wallpapers-debian-tile' are the three packages that
I would want to include in the archive, your images I would leave
seperate, along with the previously produced starwars, startreck, and
tolkien images.
(I'd not want to upload them because of their size and the lack of
clear copyable status).
If you wished I'd be happy to package your images for you and maintain
them, but I'd be equally happy just to host them - or let you look
after them yourself.
I like the way that you used postinst to ask for screen resolution,
but unless there's overwhelming desire to do that I think the way I
handle this issue is fine for now, (and it makes the tiling support
nice and simple).

Thanks for the early, timely, offer of the images you created.
