I think we picked up André's theme because it was consistent and rather
complete. It was nice to have it around for the technical
implementation of the desktop-base integration, and we learned a lot of
it (for example the gdm requirements, the non-support of some SVG
variations in KDE etc.).
Now, I'm happy if we ship etch with this theme or with another better
one; I think there's still time to update desktop-base with new data
files, even if I personally don't consider this to be necessary (IOW:
it's cosmetic and not risky, I don't care one way or the other).
