Erm, no. They are the moreblue-orbit theme, which came in Lenny. IIRC
Debblue was the default in sarge, and moreblue in etch.

The SpaceFun theme looks ready to me, but we need a decision and action
by the affected maintainers to validate it and make it the default
theme.

Quite true. In the past the RT never opposed theming changes in the
freeze time so I don’t think it is too late, but we should act soon.
