A script! Oww! That would be fantastic. There is a proposal to define the structure of a theme package, we can resume this discussion.
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianArt/StructureThemePackage It would be nice not to have only the "debian-desktop" as a package but a support for "skins" more flexible. 2013/8/19 Adrien Aubourg <[email protected]>: > Hi, > > Thanks for the offer.
