Bug Description
As part of applying for official status for "Ubuntu Budgie", the technical board has requested that the team add our packages to the Ubuntu repos (universe).
"Ubuntu Budgie" will initially consist of eight 16.10 packages listed here in the PPA description
- https:/
budgie-wallpapers contains the wallpapers for Ubuntu Budgie. This is a Ubuntu only package and is not appropriate for wider distribution through Debian.
The package is based upon the same structure and debian packaging as the ubuntu-wallpapers package.
The package initially contains the wallpapers for xenial. Within the 16.10 development cycle we will be updating with yakkety specific wallpapers as well.

Hi, I took a look at this and there are some issues.
First, the version number for an Ubuntu package is wrong. I would suggest you follow Ubuntu's example and use 16.04.0-0ubuntu1.
- The 16.04 is because you wrote in your intro that these are actually the xenial wallpapers.
- The .0 is because you cannot change the original tarball but have to use a different version number each time. -1 would be the first Debian release. -2 would be the 2nd. -0ubuntu1 is a Ubuntu package where there wasn't a Debian release for that version or the Debian release wasn't used.
Second and most importantly, according to your debian/copyright, you have images which are *not* redistributable in Ubuntu. You cannot use any Creative Commons *Non-Commercial* license.
The Debian wiki is unclear about the status of CC version 2 licenses. Versions 3 and 4 are fine. Version 1 is not. It's commonly believed in Debian that the version 2 licenses aren't good enough. See bug 1588938 for instance where the Debian maintainers reported the issue to GNOME developers who replaced the version 2 pictures.
Therefore, I recommend you try to find images that don't use CC version 2 licenses either just to be safe and it would be a huge headache to try to replace them once they are in use on people's computers.
Third, I recommend you look at the ubuntu-wallpapers packaging how they have separate packages for each Ubuntu release. So Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) users have ubuntu-wallpapers installed which depends on ubuntu- wallpapers- xenial. If they upgraded from 15.10, they'll also have ubuntu- wallpapers- wily installed. They can optionally install wallpapers from any or all releases going back to karmic.
Fourth, in your .xml.in files you can use spaces in the name field. The name is for wallpaper choosers that show a name for each photo. The names are in that file so translators can translate them into other languages.
