Well, if you need only this symlink and if it's in -compat it's just as
easy as pointing the symlink to 
/usr/share/backgrounds/goddard/default/standard/goddard.png

and requiring goddard-backgrounds-single

PS: Chris, if you wish to be more informed about backgrounds changes
(since F12 we are pushing the new backgrounds since Alpha) feel free to
ask on design team mailing list (design-team AT lists.fp.o) or tell us
there how/where/when would you like to be notified about the change. I
usually prepare some basic stuff for gnome and kde myself (the packaging
work) and then just ping the gnome and kde folks to change their
defaults to the new one. The KDE folks are also deriving their artwork
(KDM etc) from ours so they usually are following more closely directly
on our list.
