Bug Description
Still needs done in Update Manager
=======
1. When upgrading from 11.10, update-manager should also install ubuntu-
2. All ubuntu-wallpapers* packages should be marked as manually installed so that they won't be automatically removed when upgrading to the next Ubuntu release.
Original bug report
===================
As mentioned on this forum thread, upgrading Ubuntu deletes the previous wallpapers. This is bad because apparently if someone had set their wallpaper to say a Natty community wallpaper, they would get a black background on updating to Oneiric with no easy way to get their old wallpaper back. http://
This is also very bad because Ubuntu updates aren't supposed to mess with user preferences.
I suggest that the old wallpapers be kept in the ubuntu-wallpapers source package. A new ubuntu-wallpapers metapackage should be created that depends on ubuntu-
