the pros nor what are the cons of "virtual package" and "breaks/replaces" :/

A virtual package is normally used when two packages provide similar functionality, and the user can chose which package to install, and it will "provide" the virtual package that other packages will depend upon. It is also used in other complicated transitional arrangements. But this is a simple case of moving files from one package to another, for which a breaks/replaces is normally sufficient. See:

xubuntu-icon-theme was a depend of -lightdm-theme, hence they were moved
over with it.

Perfect, that was what I was missing. A changelog entry (or a separate bzr commit & message) would have helped :-)

I truly hope i'm not making things more complicated with my interaction
and that we will be able to find a good solution in time.

No problems. I think a simpler diff (only the default settings changes) will be easier to review and generate less questions/delay from the sponsor. And it will get us the new theme. It is pretty simple to replay the commits back in later.

Cheers,

Ross
