I was wondering if there are any wallpaper packages around

Sure, quite a lot actually. They can be found in your package management like any other package.

wallpapers which are as good as the pre-installed ones

Is a really subjective requirement and there's no definite single answer to your question because of this.

Obvious things to try from here: Use the wallpaper and/or background keywords in...

• finding high-rated listings in the Software Center.
• searching on packages.ubuntu.com or by issuing apt-cache search wallpaper background on the command-line.

Make sure the universe and multiverse repositories are enabled for a wider set of artwork. Feel free to try out any package and remove the ones you don't like.
