To debianize them you can use theme-converters. The advantage to this over
untarring the themes is that you now have the themes under package control.
NB theme-converters uses perl, so if you want to use the potato version you
will have to download and upgrade all of the perl stuff to since there was a
major overhaul of the perl packages.

Description: Convert WindowMaker/GTK+ theme packages to .debs
This takes .tar.gz files from, for example, wm.themes.org or
gtk.themes.orig, and converts them into .deb packages.
.
The .deb packages it produces are acceptable for local use, but are
not really policy-conformant, notably since they cannot reliably
create a reasonable /usr/doc/<theme>/copyright file.
.
Packages made using this package are named "wmaker-<foo>-theme" for
WindowMaker themes and "gtk-<foo>-theme" for GTK themes
