I don't need a desktop background design.
I'd be completely happy with a blank screen. I might possibly want to
tweak the background colour, for visual pleasance behind my windows.
Let those who care choose their own pictures and install them.

We specifically don't need Debian logos.

I don't mind if we do the same for splash screens during booting.
Don't really need them. Don't want them if they get in the way of
seeing what it's doing while it boots.

And don't want Devuan deelopers to waste time on them if it means
delaying our release. After a usable release, we'll have time for
such matters.
