Looking at a recent test-install on openqa, you can see that
debian-edu-artwork-ceratopsian 2.13.1-1 is being installed into the
target system:

  https://openqa.debian.net/tests/463077/logfile?filename=_collect_data-debs.txt#line-144

and the login prompt looks to be ceratopsian with a debianedu logo, so
it is actually being used in the target AFAIKS.

  https://openqa.debian.net/tests/463077#step/_graphical_wait_login/3

However the boot splash on the installer is still "12":

  https://openqa.debian.net/tests/463077#step/_boot_to_debianinstaller/1

so I guess that whatever's responsible for building the debian-edu
images is probably working from a repo that is missing (the debian-edu
equivalent of) this commit:

  https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debian-installer/-/commit/1caa370bfdda6d2a2adf6f032263aa214d852a96

but I'm afraid I don't know where the debian-edu variant of the
installer lives ... unless it's actually debian-cd's job to get that
right.

Ah, here you go:

  https://salsa.debian.org/images-team/debian-cd/-/blob/master/data/trixie/debian-edu-installer-logo.png?ref_type=heads

I guess you need that updated.

It looks like the trixie equivalent of this commit never happened:

  https://salsa.debian.org/images-team/debian-cd/-/commit/bc627313aa3304cca50e60229e9bd02b40c17e76

HTH

Cheers, Phil.
