Obviously, that won't do.

The only thing you're going to achieve with that is prevent people to have all shimmer themes installed at the same time, and have apt remove either shimmer-themes or numix-gtk-theme on upgrades, depending on which of them gets the highest score.

Numix seems to be a theme under the umbrella of the shimmerproject, which already has a PPA, a daily PPA, and we ensured in the past that packages would use a different namespace/folder name (e.g. albatross-git) or ship an updated shimmer-themes in the ppa, to avoid any conflict with the ubuntu package. So why break that "rule" now?

Please remove the "Conflicts: shimmer-themes", thanks.

(On a side note, the shimmer-themes binary package is *small*, < 500Ko, so I don't see the point in splitting it in many very small binary packages, one for each theme...)
