As with anything in Debian: there are no plans per se, but if someone
wants to do the work, and it is generally agreed upon that the work done
does look good, then it's quite likely that it'll be accepted.

You're welcome to demonstrate what you think would look good. One way to
do this would be to check out a copy of Debian's website to your local
hard disk, edit the code any way you see fit, post it on a website that
you control, and ask for comments on this list.
Information on how to do this and how the website is set up can be found
at http://www.debian.org/devel/website/
Currently Jutta Wrage is working on converting the site so that it
complies with HTML strict, which could probably be seen as 'renewing'.
Jutta also did most (all?) of the work to introduce CSS in the website
instead of table-based designs. If what you're planning to do has
something to do with that, you may want to coordinate with Jutta.
