Hello Ross,

The more I look at this, the more I feel that this package cannot be allowed into Testing in its current state,
because the package still includes a full GNOME theme that calls the Clearlooks GTK engine (works, since included in
this package) and a matching Metacity theme (fails, since recently split from main Clearlooks package).

There are two possible solutions:

1) remove the files that install the full GNOME theme, so that it's no longer offered in the GNOME Theme selector
(only the separate normal/blue/olive GTK engines remain available for crafting our own GNOME themes), or

2) merge back and track the matching Metacity theme, so that selecting the GNOME Clearlooks theme doesn't stupidly
call a matching Metacity theme that is missing. Btw, this is the solution used by Ubuntu.

Leaving the package in its current state is NOT acceptable, as it would pose a disservice to Debian users.

I will gladly provide you with my patch to merge back the Metacity theme, if this can help you. Alternately, I am
available to co-maintain this package, if you like.
