They are now in .kobo/kbmenu/poweroffimages. You can replace them by your own jpg or png files. The file names must not contain spaces.
If you are content with the results of your testing and wish to use it for real, copy the file poweroff.sh from kobo.\kbmenu\scripts to kobo.\kbmenu\onstart (replacing thereby the original poweroff.sh file).

This is only for KSM version 06.

Edit: It is preferable if the ratio of the images corresponds roughly to the screen ratio, the actual dimensions are not so important. Real large images might possibly cause problems. I tried 2136x2848 / 3 MB images without problem.
I tested the poweroff.sh script, putting in the poweroff folder some 800*600 jpg and png. The screen saver works randomly, but it shows the images in a windows-style window named Image viewer. The same with the original images in the poweroff folder. This was on Kobo Touch.
