Just out of interest, how does this differ from reference manuals?  I guess 
the advantage of packaging them is that (i) the user can simply apt-get them 
as with the rest of their software; (ii) the user doesn't need to know how to 
manually install themes(*); they just magically show up in the theme manager.

(*) not that it's difficult, but the debian way is more hands-free (as 
intended).
