Bug description:
  Changing the default wallpaper from the existing Groovy Gorilla
  illustration to the one featuring Raspberry Pi tinted sunglasses.

  For the default desktop wallpaper we'll need to revert
  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-settings/20.10.2 and
  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-
  wallpapers/20.10.2-0ubuntu1 and update the warty-final-ubuntu.png and
  also include the with the plain sunglasses mascot wallpaper as an
  option.

  The background wallpaper for Ubiquity slideshow should also be changed
  to use the version featuring the mascot wearing Raspberry Pi tinted
  sunglasses.

  The benefit is to pay homage to the work various teams have been doing
  with the Raspberry Pi foundation and to their product. It's a way to
  signal our commitment to making their platform great and deepen our
  relationship with the Pi foundation.

  Any additional information which would be helpful in considering the
  decision

  The concerns people have are of product placement and forcing

  this, the option to change to the default easily, that there is no
  direct link to Raspberry Pi anything and its quite subtle. But
