I would make a general point about circular dependencies. If a) really depends on b), and b) really depends on a), then they can only be installed together, right? In which case, I see little value in having them as separate packages. This doesn't invalidate Manoj's (I think, sorry if I mis-attribute) argument that a separate doc package is good for people who want to find out about it without downloading the whole she-bang. But if E and e-theme are truly inter-dependent, I see no value in separating them. I suspect that the correct solution is for E to Recommend: e-theme, which is a virtual package, and e-default-theme to Provide: e-theme and Depend: E. Then e-funky-theme (written by a.n.other person) will also Provide e-theme.
