Dustin and I spent a couple hours talking about this yesterday. This is
the best option we came up with as a short-term fix to make newt's color
palette configurable, instead of hard-coded into a C function (to avoid
forking the whole package when the patch to newt is only a few lines).
Longer-term, we want to talk with the upstream newt developers about
breaking the color palette out into a config file, how they'd like to do
it, and what they'd be likely to accept upstream. But, it didn't seem
fair to subject the Kubuntu folks to an aubergine command-line (or hold
Ubuntu on the default palette) while that conversation is happening.
