[Bug 1669818] Re: Ubuntu Budgie shows debian wallpaper due to greeter recommendation

[fossfreedom]

I have completed the rebuild and merge of lightdm-gtk-greeter from
v2.0.1 to v2.0.2.

https://launchpad.net/~ubuntubudgie-dev/+archive/ubuntu/zesty-
proposed/+sourcepub/7564041/+listing-archive-extra

I was a little surprise given the apparent diff size for such a minor
version update - most appears to be description changes (copyright year
change)

The revised upstream minor release also includes Ubuntu Budgie's
lightdm-gtk-greeter icon that we also have in our binary package budgie-
lightdm-theme.  Thus the uplift of lightdm-gtk-greeter needs to occur
together with a revised version of the source package budgie-artwork:

https://launchpad.net/~ubuntubudgie-dev/+archive/ubuntu/zesty-
proposed/+sourcepub/7564043/+listing-archive-extra

Tested on xubuntu and ubuntu budgie.  All appears to be ok.

If not considered suitable for zesty then the work should be considered
for zesty+1

Title:
  Ubuntu Budgie shows debian wallpaper due to greeter recommendation

Status in budgie-artwork package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in lightdm-gtk-greeter package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Budgie, like Xubuntu uses lightdm-gtk-greeter as its default
  greeter.

  However, due to the recommendation of "debian-base" in debian/control,
  we show all the debian wallapers in that package.  Very confusing for
  users.

  Please can this be changed to a "Suggests:" instead?

  Note - I originally asked this Q on Debian, but they declined saying
  its a downstream issue

   - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=850328

  I was going to attach a debdiff for the change, but the current source
  for lightdm-gtk-greeter zesty does not compile under zesty due to
  lightDM API changes.  Was the package simply copied from Xenial?
  Which begs the question - how on earth does the greeter actually work
  under zesty if the API has changed!
