There's not Debian people and not Gtk+/GNOME people, this current thread shows this perfectly. And if nobody wanted themes they'd got removed with Gtk+3, not enhanced and blogged about by Gtk+ upstream: http://blogs.gnome.org/mclasen/2014/05/06/tweaking-a-the-gtk-theme-using-css/ > >.

Fortunately that's not you or me to decide: https://www.debian.org/devel/constitution#item-2 https://www.debian.org/devel/constitution#item-3 I'm having a hard time to see use cases go away. /etc/init.d/$foo is not a use case it's a pattern that can easily be emulated or even be provided by a package that creates wrappers for systemd units.
