 The actual relicensing shall be done by SPI (as copyright owner) and has
 not happened yet. But it should happen during the next SPI board
 meeting, scheduled for September 13th, 2012.

The above has now happened. SPI resolution is at:

  http://www.spi-inc.org/corporate/resolutions/2012/2012-09-07.rtb.1/

Yesterday I've committed the change to the licensing information at:

  http://www.debian.org/logos/

the change is now live.

 If you're working on Debian artworks or the like, feel free to start
 using the official logo in them. Assuming that it will be DFSG-free RSN
 is now a safe bet. You should just avoid claiming that it is *already*
 free until my final announcement here (after September 13th).

For the -desktop people, I've reviewed the content of the desktop-base
package, and it seems that none of the new themes uses the debian
label, so there should be no need to change them at all. But if you
didn't use the debian label for licensing reason, you still have a to
add it (to be verified with the package maintainer and release team for
unblock reasons, though). The spacefun team does use a debian label,
typeset in the non-official typeface, though. If you want to update it
to use the official typeface, you do have a chance to do so now (under
similar constraints than above).

Cheers.

What is the trademark situation of the official logo? I was under the
impression that is still only to be used for Debian proper so isn't the
use of the official logo in themes quite problematic for derivatives
that do not derivate enough to change the themes?
