Bug Description
Two days ago, unity-greeter got updated to allow customization of the distribution name and version through its configuration file. This was done following a request and patch I sent to Robert.
I then quickly updated the edubuntu-artwork package to use these new options.
Yesterday's unity-greeter upload dropped that functionality and replaced it by an hardcoded logo which AFAICS isn't configurable.
It'd be great if that last change can either be reverted or the path to that logo be configurable so we can override it for Edubuntu.
I'm targeting that bug to beta-1 as that's affecting the branding/look consistency of Edubuntu and I'd rather not have that change post-beta1.

Attaching a proposed patch dropping os-name and os-version from the default configuration file (they aren't used anyway) and introducing a new logo option to allow customization of the logo.
