Done, see:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-artwork/+bug/344130

And I did not mean the xubuntu-* to be uploaded to debian upstream :-)
But i was revering to the individual artwork and then make a xubuntu-*
package that depends on them and keep this package in the ubuntu
repository, this way the individual artwork packages will be available in
other distributions.
