whoops... got too excited about this... you are right.  I should keep the
defautl theme 8bpp/low resolution friendly.  Which it is, IIRC.

Nope.  But t.o basically says (I'm not quoting) "include an lsm file,
include it anywhere you want, just include it".  It doesn't say which fields
are mandatory and which aren't.  The lsm-template doc says:

| Mandatory fields: Title, Version, Entered-date, Description, Primary-site.

Debian.tar.gz correctly includes "Title" (instead of "Theme Name") and
Copying-policy (instead of "Copyright").  In fact, Debian.tar.gz does
exactly what the FAQ at wm.t.o says: include an lsm file.  A random .lsm
from t.o looks like this:

  Theme Name      : SomeName
  Author          : Some A. Name <san@email.org>
  Webpage         : http://some.url.org/
  Description     : Some text about foos and bars and their interaction with
                    several quuxuum inside a wm theme package
  Copyright       : Where the pics came from, usully.  Who made what.
                    No actual copyright statement.

I guess after the Debian theme is processed by the t.o crew, it will look
this this.  Or I guess it will end up in REDO.

Thanks,
