  note that the * part is not the theme name, but a further explanation
  of the package contents (e.g., icons, decorations). in fact, packages
  from kdeartwork ship several themes in each package, splitted by
  component-type.

  for non-kdeartwork packages (i.e., not from kde.org), one wants to
  split by origin and ship all components together.

  agreed. note to Wouter: I strongly prefer kde-$FOO-style instead of
  using the word theme, since kde uses the word "theme" for something
  different than styles (as baghira).

  as you say, theme is already used by other systems and using it would
  be consistent, but it could confuse kde users making them think the
  package contains what it doesn't. plus, the word "style" is also
  meaningful (at least I perceive it as such).

  yes, please consider kde-baghira-style, since it's not only kwin
  decorations that you'll be providing in the package, right? see
  rationale in my other message.

  cheers,
