These warnings use g_warning and g_message, which cannot be deactivated
at runtime. We can still patch the source to remove these warnings, but
it's kind of ugly.

The udeb also includes the hcengine.so engine, so that you can ship a
dark theme using this engine as well. Once the engine is available,
shipping one of the gtkrc files from gnome-accessibility-themes should
be enough.
