The problem about remastering the CD image is that it simply doesn't
work: as soon as somebody upgrades from the network, they'll get the old
artwork back, and you can't forbid people to upgrade from the network
because they need to be able to get security updates.

(That is, unless you play messy and fragile games with dpkg-divert which
I'm sure we really don't want to encourage just because we're so fixated
on having a particular piece of artwork in Ubuntu ...)

Cheers,
