When I found them I knew straight away that they are Shuttle worth.
(no pun intended ;-) mark took Союз)

I use them in Compiz cube one for background, one for top and one for
bottom faces. Look amazing

i understood the OP that he wanted to have the art replaced :)
and tried to point out that the package the images come from are
actually supposed to have content from the artwork team ... 
i didnt see it as a removal request ;)

Is it really the correct place to discuss removing a package from the
default install?

>From the ubuntu-art's wiki page:

"The goal of the "Artwork Team" is to produce artwork for the
community side of Ubuntu.

The Artwork Team aims to enrich Ubuntu by designing high quality,
original and beautiful themes to be available in the repo as an
*alternative* to the default look. " [1]

It might be a good place to organize an effort for a
community-wallpapers package (there was one in edgy), but that team
has no say in any of the default artwork included with Ubuntu. Efforts
from ubuntu-artwork's community-themes package were promote to main in
the form of the gnome-themes-ubuntu package and wallpapers created and
shared by people on the list have sometimes been chosen to be the
default wallpaper, but the decisions were never discussed on that
list. They were made unilaterally by Canonical.

Sending people there to complain about the default artwork or about
other packages included in the default install is at best futile and
at worst disruptive to the work going on there.

they come from a very old (and implemented spec) for screensaver pics
and are actually pics mark took when he was in space, the initial idea
was that the artwork team would enhance the selection of images in the
screensaver-default-images package with self breeded pictures ...

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreensaverDefaultImage

beyond the technical part here (the creation of the
screensaver-default-images package with marks initial artwork) the
artwork team part of the spec never took off actually ...
