Title:
  ubiquity-dm in Kubuntu Focal does not display the KDE wallpaper

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  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?)
