I agree; Debianizing a theme is pretty easy, at least for the windowmanagers I know. The harder part is identifying copyrights and licenses, testing compatibility, etc. Themes hardly ever have proper copyright notices or licenses, and they're frequently derived from other themes. I've been working on the sawfish-themes along similar lines. Where it's been possible to contact them, the authors have been friendly and enthusiastic, and every case of original authorship they've been quite willing to apply the GPL. (plug: preliminary DFSG-free results at http://devin.com/debian/) That said, there wouldn't any harm in fixing up the the theme-converters package so users can debianize themes for their own use. And if the upstream theme archives started posting apt-able archives based thereupon, it could be handy for some. -- Devin \ aqua(at)devin.com, 1024D/E9ABFCD2; http://www.devin.com Carraway \ IRC: Requiem GCS/CC/L s-:--- !a !tv C++++$ ULB+++$ O+@ P L+++
