The error message says that an error occured while trying to overwrite
»/usr/share/themes/nimbus/metacity-1/button-close-icon-prelight.png«,
which is part of package gtk2-engines-nimbus, and therefore the dpkg-deb
process paste was killed with signal broken pipe.

If you add

Conflicts: gtk2-engines-nimbus

to the control file, gtk2-engines-nimbus will be removed from aptitude
before installation of your package is possible, so the error would not
occur (at least I think that will happen, have not tried :-)   )

The other question is wether your package name (nimbus) or gtk2-engines-
nimbus follows the standards for package names of desktop themes - a
question I have no answer for. However, looking into the repository,
other Gnome themes are also following this package name scheme:  gtk(2
)-engines-xxxx
