[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1592870] Re: Xerus_Wallpaper_Grey_4096x2304.png is a terrible default wallpaper filename

[Jeremy Bicha]

My initial thought is that ubuntu-wallpapers.xml.in should have
ubuntu-default-greyscale-wallpaper.png

and we should remove Yak_Wallpaper_Grey_4096x2304.png from 
yakkety-wallpapers.xml.in
and remove Suru_Wallpaper_Desktop_4096x2304_Gray.png from 
ubuntu-wallpapers.xml.in

That way, users who use the Settings app to set their wallpaper to the
grey version in 16.10 will automatically get the new gray version when
they upgrade to 17.04.

I believe we've previously always removed the old aubergine wallpapers
with new versions (Ubuntu doesn't make it easy for someone to keep the
14.04 version of the default wallpaper when upgrading to 16.04. On the
other hand, 10 slightly different aubergine wallpapers in the chooser
for someone who upgrades to every Ubuntu release is probably a
problem.). If we're going to change that now for the gray version then
we should change it for the aubergine version too.

Title:
  Xerus_Wallpaper_Grey_4096x2304.png is a terrible default wallpaper
  filename

Status in ubuntu-wallpapers package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  "Xerus_Wallpaper_Grey_4096x2304.png" is not a good filename for a
  default wallpaper.

  - It encodes the release where it first appeared.  I would have
  assumed we'd learned that lesson from "warty-final-ubuntu.png", which
  is *still* our default wallpaper filename.

  - It encodes the image size, which makes it awkward when/if we ever
  update the file to a different size.

  Why didn't we just name it "ubuntu-grey.png" or something?  Is it too
  late to do so?  With a symlink involved for backwards compatibility.
  We could probably never drop the symlink, because we actually released
  this file into the wild...  But at least we'd be trying.
