This package won't work in Debian testing, the reason being that
xfce-theme-manager is built against libxfce4ui-1-0 (>= 4.11.0), and
testing only has version 4.10.0 of this library ATM.

That's Ubuntu way of saying 'Please add this line to
/etc/apt/sources-list.d:
deb https://launchpad.net/~rebuntu16/+archive ubuntu
But, since this package won't do you any good anyway - don't bother.
Just rebuild it from the source, and install it conventional way.
