Thanks!  Do you know what other packages provide window manager
themes?  Should they be listed as | alternatives, perhaps by using
some appropriate Provides?

I am happy with the "Depends: gnome-themes-standard" personally and am
only worried that someone using a fallback theme is going to ask to
demote it to a Recommends again and then we'd be back where we
started.  So this part of the question isn't too urgent.

Regards,
Jonathan
