I just did a quick look and you are right that this theme is indeed beautiful. > My motivation for maintaining this package is: [I want to build a > whole theme, and these icons are part of it.

Any particular reason for that? That's annoying. Are you trying to circumvent the lintian message that your long description may be too short? You can surely put some other text there to give the users a better idea of what the theme is about (and it being beautiful would be bad if skipped). * You state in the debian/copyright file that the license is GPL, but the text is GPLv3+ and you provide instructions for the user saying that the text of the GPL on Debian systems is under a versioned name. It is better to make everything versioned here. * You claim copyright on the Debian packaging, but what is the license? If you don't specify it, then it is possible to interpret that your work mixed with the upstream GPL is not distributable. A usual thing to do is to make your changes be the same as the rest of the package (with the added side effect that your changes can be integrated upstream easily). * The index.theme file in the Faenza directory says that it inherits Humanity, ubuntu-mono-light, gnome. What about recommending/suggesting those packages, depending on the status of their Freedomness?
