Um, those recommendations seem to be the wrong way around, if anything?
Your *first* suggestion would fix problem #2: adding those obsoletes
would cause both packages to be installed on update of an existing
system with the old, 'combined' gnome-backgrounds. Your *second*
suggestion is not also necessary to solve problem #2...
Yeah, sorry, I switched them.
But I think both make sense: we generally *do* want the -extra backgrounds
to be installed, they add value to the default installation.
