And in fact, it would be work to remove them, so leave them be.

Except on my Debian Jessie system the walpaper I get is a blue screen
with a Debian logo, a few artistic-looking wwhite curved lines, and the
words "Debian 8".

There's an menu for choosing another background called "xfce-blue.jpg",
but even when I select it, it doesn't seem to appear on the background.
(Could systemd be involved here?)

No. it's not important to tell me how to change the background -- I
don't really care all that much. Eventully it'll all just work on
Devuan, and I'll wait for that.
