@Michael: Good idea, I'll do that today.

Regarding the Debian Ciel theme choice...

There is nothing technically wrong with Clearlooks, it's just that we've
been looking at it for ages
(not only on Debian), so I thought some fresh air wouldn't be that bad.
As for the themes, well, I chose themes already available in the Squeeze
repos, so I trust they had been
tested enough. Frankly, themes like MurrinaAquaIsh have been around since
ages, so I doubt there really
are any issues with it. The Murrine engine is also a pretty conservative
version and has been around
in Squeeze for very long IIRC. I have not seen any issues whatsoever. Also,
Murrine is still actively developed
and very popular, which increases the need for people to report bugs on them
(or at least that's my reasoning).

These are the only new dependencies:


   - murrine-themes
   - tango-icon-theme
   - dmz-cursor-theme

of course, apart from the new packages the theme will produce. Mind you, the
dependencies affect Gnome,
as well as Xfce and LXDE.
