My English is not enough to understand and discuss. Sorry... Since 2008[1], tried for debconf8 proposed facility for customizing themes in debian.
A theme for me is not only images, icons and cursors. Is there other configurations and settings for different resolutions and work environment. Possibility of an issue for children, or a subject accessible to colorblind. It is not just changing the images on a desktop. Standardize a framework of themes is the first step in identifying the individual needs of each appearance. This is not a process to change it quickly, we can begin defining a new structure and inserting new specific topics (themes packages).
