Closed on both sides, I think. But we actually have backgrounds for
earlier releases too, see below.

I think it'd look like this (e.g. f35 branch):

...
%package -n beefy-miracle-backgrounds
Summary: Backgrounds for f17
...
%package -n f21-backgrounds
Summary: Backgrounds for f21
...
%package -n f35-backgrounds
Summary: Backgrounds for f35
Provides: fedora-backgrounds    # only when f35 is the latest

and then for f36 this would be extended with:

%package -n f36-backgrounds
Summary: Backgrounds for f36
Provides: fedora-backgrounds    # moved here when f36 becomes the latest

I don't think it'd be much of a problem even in long form, because
we'd essentially get a bunch of new lines once for each release…
But yeah, some macro magic would probably make this nicer.
