Oh, by the way, I'm happy to work on this, but if someone else just
happens to be attached to it you can go ahead as well. (I'm not really a
Perl person, so I wouldn't mind at all :b).

>From the looks of it, it should be pretty straight-forward: we can have
a ubiquity-slideshow folder in the defaults template that ends up as it
is on the disk. The script will need to generate directory.jsonp based
on what files have been added, and that should be it. It would be nice
to have the extra directory in a package that only exists on the live cd
(to save some space in the final install), but I get the impression that
will need some features we don't currently have.

Title:
  Please support customization of ubiquity-slideshow through defaults
  builder

Status in “ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in “ubuntu-defaults-builder” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Many teams would like the ability to customize the installer
  slideshow, enhancing existing screenshots and slides with translations
  and special content.

  At this point, ubiquity-slideshow supports customization with an
  optional directory located at /usr/share/ubiquity-
  slideshow/slides/extra. This directory contains any customized slides
  or screenshots, for any locales that are supported by Ubiquity, placed
  like the following:

  extra/C/screenshots/usc.jpg
  extra/it/gethelp.html
  extra/it/screenshots/browse.jpg

  This can be done easily enough by hand.
  There is one other very important file which needs to be generated automatically: extra/directory.jsonp.

  To complete this feature, we need to make it really easy for people to
  create the extra slides directory using defaults builder.
