update-debian-edu-artwork is provided by debian-edu-artwork, however there is only a weak Recommends dependency of the subpackages debian-edu-artwork-emerald on the main package whereas the main package has a strong dependency on any of the subpackages. Adding a Requires on the main package creates a dependency loop which would as far as I understand the policy manual be broken arbitrarily, so it doesn't seem to be a good solution. The most simple fix I can think of would be to copy the script into each subpackage instead of symlinking it, that way we don't have to maintain multiple copies.
I like this approach for the d-e-a version that we want to bring to bookworm as it does not require changing the bin:pkg arrangement.
However I'm wondering why the package is set up the way it is, couldn't we rename debian-edu-artwork to debian-edu-artwork-common, make the theme subpackages require that and turn debian-edu-artwork into a virtual package provided by each theme subpackage?
This we should revisit for d-e-a in Debian Edu trixie. Please file an extra bug for this.
