For the desktop:
- wallpaper images should be of type svg, but png works too.
- wallpaper images should go into /usr/share/images/desktop-base/ (atm
/usr/share/wallpapers, which works too.)
artwork should provide a file named debian-edu.xml in
/usr/share/images/desktop-base/
(Example in case the wallpaper images are located in the same dir, otherwise
replace 'images/desktop-base' with 'wallpapers')
-----------------------------------------------------------
# file /usr/share/images/desktop-base/debian-edu.xml
<background>
<static>
<duration>8640000.0</duration>
<file>
<size width="1920" height="1080">/usr/share/images/desktop-base/debian-edu-wallpaper01_1920x1080.png</size>
<size width="1600" height="1200">/usr/share/images/desktop-base/debian-edu-wallpaper01_1600x1200.png</size>
<size width="1920" height="1200">/usr/share/images/desktop-base/debian-edu-wallpaper02_1920x1200.png</size>
</file>
</static>
</background>
------------------------------------------------------------
Configure the background (should be done in postinst script of the
package, I guess):
update-alternatives --install /usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-background.xml desktop-background.xml /usr/share/images/desktop-base/debian-edu.xml 10
update-alternatives --install /usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-background desktop-background /usr/share/images/desktop-base/debian-edu-wallpaper01_1920x1080.png 75
Done manually, this seems to provide the Debian Edu desktop background
for new users.
