I just did a virgin Dapper install, and the existing themes are by

be installed with the accessibility metapackage that is going to be
done, Henrik is working on that IIRC)
That's not quite what we were planning. The high contrast themes were
moved into the desktop seed because they can then be run easily from the
Live CD with the F5 options. Also keep in mind that for a person with
weak vision it can be very difficult to find the right package and
install it. Esp. if they are also new to Linux.
That said, I don't think we need all those themes in the default install
since the functionality somewhat overlaps. My suggestion would be to
leave 'High Contrast Large Print' in the default, and move the other
four to a separate package.
- Mist, Smokey, Ocean Dream, Simple, and Traditional... none of them
are great
I also agree that these are quite dull. Much more interesting themes can
be found on art.gnome and gnome-look.
