That way, the Debian bug tracking system sends the mail to the list, and the list mail already shows the bug number, so I don't have to look it up first. > Severity: important Severity: wishlist would be more appropriate.

I think it would take an ongoing discussion that would last at least 3 or 4 full Debian release cycles until many parties (kernel/bootsplash, KDE, Gnome, XFCE, GNUStep, OO.org and Mozilla, too, perhaps) would agree to anything like a Debian specific default theme... Sarcasm aside, I would very much welcome the idea, but since a *default* theme is virtually impossible in Debian, I'd suggest a meta-package that would install a nice theme for as many components as possible. Especially important: a coherent look between KDE and Gnome - many KDE users use gimp and/or evo, and quite a few gnome users use k3b... Time being limited and theming not a huge concern for me, I have to limit myself to throwing ideas around - yes, I know, nothing ever gets done that way. Sorry about that. (Btw: tackling such a theming package would probably involve quite a bit policy work - a proper policy on how packages can safely interact with other package's conffiles/configuration would be very much welcome in other areas, too: currently database configuration is somewhat there, apache has a sensible framework afaict, but each has their own way of doing such things.) cheers -- vbi -- featured link: http://www.pool.ntp.org
