I disagree.

Basically, many users uses tab completion, and I think it is better to
be able to tabcomplete from kdm<tab> to find kdm themes rather than
having to vrite theme-kdm-foo, and the themes is also seen when doing
apt-get install foo<tab>, for example

$ sudo apt-get install splash<tab><tab><tab>
splashy         splashy-themes

why not xfce-theme-* and gdm-theme-* ?
