If you search on packages.ubuntu.com for
"/usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html" in packages' content, you get this:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=%2Fusr%2Fshare%2Fubuntu-artwork%2Fhome%2Findex.html&searchmode=searchfiles&case=insensitive&version=breezy&arch=i386

=> "text/ubuntu-docs"

If you don't have ubuntu-docs installed, please close the bug.

I will check that when I arrive at my home machine. but, shouldn't
epiphany-browser pull in ubuntu-docs if it needs it for the default home page?

No, it gets pulled in by the standard installation and is a setting many users
change within the first minutes. Package dependencies are used to *absolutely
require* other packages, which make them work.
