You want to take a look at:
- desktop-base (provides debian-related artwork and themes, only
automatically applied for gnome at this point, background image and
splashscreen only at this point)
- wishlist bug #348702 which has a patch to make the desktop-base stuff
apply to XFCE and KDE
- desktop-profiles, provides a mechanism to add custom configuration sets
for the different desktop environments.
Usefull keywords to find information on how to create the custom
configurations are 'configuration sources' (GNOME/gconf), profiles (KDE)
basedirs (freedesktop/XFCE), Choices (ROX), domains (GNUSTEP)
P.S. the debian-desktop or debian-custom lists are probably more on topic
regarding this kind of thing
