First, thanks for all these corrections. I'll only answer to the few things needing to.

True for the music. The package is split as it is very large and arch-independent, while frozen-bubble is arch-dependent (there are some parts written in C). > > Package: gnome-themes-extras 0+20030512-1 > > Various themes for Gnome 2 > > This is a metapackage providing some nice contributed themes for the > > GNOME desktop, most of them using vector icons for rendering. > > metapackage?

I build it with the packages in this source, as all the packages it depends on except one come from gnome-themes-extras. > > Package: gtk2-engines-wasp 0+20030512-1 > > A BeOS theme for GTK+ 2.x and nautilus > > GTK2, Nautilus, and Metacity Yes, maybe I have to stick to a coherent description of what can be themed. > > be smooth, fast, and highly configurable, to the point that it could > > eventually be capable of mimicking most, if not all, major theme > > engines > > to high degree of acuracy, while still retaining a small footprint. > > I don't know what this package does; I can't suggest a better > description.

I didn't have a better idea when packaging it, so I sticked to the upstream description. I will try to rework it. > > Package: gtk2-engines-nuvola 0+20030512-1 > > The blue style surf for GTK+ 2.x and nautilus > > Blue surf style, maybe? This is upstream's naming.

See Policy §5.3, again. I don't have screenshots for all of them, but I will upload some, this is a good idea. > > Package: gtk2-engines-galaxy 0+20030512-1 > > Mandrake's theme for GTK+ 2.x and nautilus > > This is the Galaxy theme for GTK/Gnome from Mandrake Linux.

It is smooth and beautiful, uses several color tones and gives a nice overall result, but nothing else than a screenshot can help. It's like for the BeOS theme: if you don't know what Mandrake (resp. BeOS) looks like, the description doesn't help. [gorilla] > And is this really a GTK2 theme, or some more Nautilus icons?

This would mean some gross hackery, i.e. using the config script for something else than debconf. Currently, it is displayed only in the case the script is sure there are GTK2 applications currently running, and the SVG loader is not installed. -- .''`.
