Public bug reported:

ubiquity-dm in Kubuntu Focal does not display the KDE wallpaper on the
try/install. Instead a black background is shown.

The reason is that ubiquity-dm specifies the wallpaper for kde/Kubuntu
as:

/usr/share/wallpapers/Next/contents/images/2560x1600.png

https://git.launchpad.net/ubiquity/tree/bin/ubiquity-dm#n707

This has been valid for many many plasma releases, however in Plasma
5.18 the winner of the upstream wallpaper competition was included and
shipped there as .jpg. Obviously ubiquity-dm fails to find the png it
expects. Symlinking or copying the jpg as a png does not work around the
issue.

So we likely need to either; (a) change the hardcoded path, or (b) make
the wallpaper ubiquity dm looks for set by something like an environment
variable or config file supplied/set by the flavour (default setting
package?)
