Ok, is only my oppinion. I will try to help with the size of your file, see below ;-) >> 2.

The icons wich are already in the package wm-icons should not be included (in the debian package) to avoid conflicts. - Theme. Probably we can add themes in any place in upstream. This is not the main task of the wmaker-git, but could put themes in some place. Then is possible to add a wmaker-themes package if needed. - The environments tgz files are using /usr/local instead /usr. I didn't review it, but what are the differences with the standard wmaker config files? Is possible to set the configuration for all environments together and then switch between them using a variable? wmlive-extra: - No comments, are only packages. wmlive-pkglists: - You are using ubuntu repos, bad ;-) [joke] wmlive-wmconfig: - You are using /usr/local - You are writing things in /var ? - I will review the menú system. In general, there are many config files that you are setting up. Probably is better to include these config files in the orignal packages (at /usr/share/doc/package/config.example or something like) and then copy the file to the user config folder. Probably is better to include things in the orignal packages or create a new packages. Coping files directly (without package manager), and using /usr/local seems to be a bad idea.
