To be honest I'm not sure how it works either - but I have a little idea.

I copied the whole BeefyMiracle theme a while back and just grepped the 
name out of all the text files and replaced with FedoraJam - no package 
submitted yet - this will eventually point to the backgrounds as well 
and be included by default on the kickstart.

Happy for you to request access via the Music Creation group in FAS, and 
you can update as you see fit.
