Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntu-wallpapers

The 'Dawn of Ubuntu' Wallpaper was licensed incorrectly and subsequently
removed from FeistyFawn and later packages.  I will work with the
creator, Armin Ronacher, to properly license his work Creative Commons
-by 3.0.

The 'Dawn of Ubuntu' wallpaper has been much requested and missed in
newer versions.  I see no reason for it not to be included as an
alternate background.  Once it is correctly under CC it can be decided
if it will be included or not.

"So why is that wallpaper not in ubuntu any more? The reason is a
misunderstanding and my own personal lack of license knowledge. I
released it with a limited CC license which was not compatible with the
ubuntu license, just that nobody noticed till (edgy? feisty?) no idea.
Anyhow. If someone is missing that wallpaper, you can find it in the art
section. And if one wants to have that in ubuntu again, file a bug in
launchpad. I will do my best then to resolve that licensing issue."
