I'd noticed that. Looks like this is sort-of-deliberate, because Ubuntu
want to match up their logo in the Plymouth boot splash with the one
in gdm:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/1101

"""
loginDialog: Retain native logo dimensions

So that the same logo may be used during boot and keeps its dimensions
on the login screen, appearing to never move.

The old behaviour was to scale it to be 48px tall, preserving aspect
ratio.

We can use logo-text-version-64.png or logo-text-64.png instead of
the current -128 (halving the size), or we can ask the desktop-base
maintainers to give us a 48px tall version if we want the same size as
in buster.

For now I'll make it use the -64 version, which looks fine on my 1440px
screen (on which GNOME defaults to 200% scaling, so the logo sizing is
as though my screen was only 720px).
