Well, I fully concur with the bug submitter. debblue may be original, but it has very low contrast and is /way/ too dark to be the default theme on any new Debian box. This affects the GNOME splash screen in particular. The GRUB boot screen as well as the GDM theme are IMHO tolerable (even though "beautiful" is not exactly the word that comes to mind). But with the splash screen things are different, as it does not occupy the whole screen. When you see it before a lighter background, the visual impression is very much as described by the bug submitter. It seems to fit best for lovers of obscure, darkish Enlightenment themes, like AbsoluteE or BlueHeart. However, it is certainly not for Joe Randomuser..
