each wallpaper for a release is in a new package for each release. This 
allows someone to install the older or newer wallpapers on their system 
if they wish. prior to f21, these packages were named by the codename, 
but with f21 not having a codename, the name of the package itself has 
21 in it, not the version (the package names all start with f21-backgrounds)

I assume this might have happened between a beta / final step where the 
package name will not change, but the name of the file it ships might. 
But this shouldnt happen between versions.
