At first, this looked to me like an exact copy of mate-backgrounds.

But on closer look, it looks like you replaced the backgrounds in the desktop/ directory.

1. I proposed you talk to the Debian and or Ubuntu MATE teams to ask if they would be willing to split the desktop/ wallpapers to a separate binary package since those wallpapers have MATE branding but I think the other wallpapers do not. If they don't have MATE branding, they are usable by any desktop.

Then you can depend on mate-backgrounds-generic or mate-backgrounds-unbranded or whatever the package is called.

We don't need duplicate background images in Ubuntu.

2. For the new wallpapers, why not add them to the ubuntukylin-wallpapers package?

Therefore, I am closing this bug since it does not appear like this package is needed in Ubuntu.
