So, I have reverted the merge of default-settings & lightdm-theme,
uploaded debdiffs to the FFE bug, and tested the theme works using or
devel testing ppa.
Hopefully the Release Team look at it soon. It may pay to ping them on
IRC in the next day or so.
Later I will submit bugs so that we remember to pull Krytarik's package
merge back in for the next release.
Cheers,
Ross

I hope Krytarik wants to step in here because i know neither what are
the pros nor what are the cons of "virtual package" and
"breaks/replaces" :/
A virtual package is normally used when two packages provide similar
functionality, and the user can chose which package to install, and it
will "provide" the virtual package that other packages will depend
upon. It is also used in other complicated transitional arrangements.
But this is a simple case of moving files from one package to another,
for which a breaks/replaces is normally sufficient. See:

https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html
xubuntu-icon-theme was a depend of -lightdm-theme, hence they were moved
over with it.
Perfect, that was what I was missing. A changelog entry (or a separate
bzr commit & message) would have helped :-)
I truly hope i'm not making things more complicated with my interaction
and that we will be able to find a good solution in time.
No problems. I think a simpler diff (only the default settings
changes) will be easier to review and generate less questions/delay
from the sponsor. And it will get us the new theme. It is pretty
simple to replay the commits back in later.
Cheers,
Ross
