I got the source from [1] and modified the amule.install and amule-common.install files at debian/. I also edited the description for amule-common to tell that it now contains the skins and that one might also want to install amule-utils-gui if you only want to use the remote GUI.
I tested it by creating the packages on my machine and it seemed to work fine. I hope I didn't do anything wrong, but if I did, feel free to tell me.
