I don't think that could be easy - or even feasible. The S5 files in python-docutils are part of the upstream tarball, and leaving aside the new themes there, the python-docutils author has even modified the default theme. The modifications are trivial, yet they are still deviations from the stock source of Eric Meyer that the S5 package distributes :) Now that I looked more deeply into the python-docutils package, it seems that the work I just did in my Subversion repository on S5 (as described in my previous e-mail, I taught the command-line tool about config files and different templates/themes) might not be enough. The S5 themes in python-docutils are incremental - each theme only contains the files that are different from those in the default theme! This seems to be getting more weird by the hour :) I *could* implement "overlays" in my s5 command-line tool, but it would probably lead to a somewhat obscure configuration syntax... I still think that it would be a good idea to have both packages in the archive and to have s5's README.Debian point towards python-docutils for more templates.
