I think, Alexander Kotelnikov is a more adequate man to respond, but he
seems to only reply in threads about RedHat. :-) [joke]
The author of this packaging proposal did not respond to me as well:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?archive=no&bug=79428
I think, the same man (or group) should package both fvwm and fvwm-themes,
otherwise small inconsistences or non-synchronizations are possible.
I would prefer not to deal with deb packages since I can't test them,
but if there is a demand and the fvwm packager can't package fvwm-themes,
we may do the same automatical deb packaging as we have with rpm in
both projects. This will lead to 2 fvwm deb packages, one is a clean
package built by "make deb-dist" and another is the existing one.
Similar to what was done here:
http://dove.net.au/~awol/fvwm/debian/ .
I would wait for other solutions before entering this situation.
BTW, the current fvwm-themes from cvs supports the Debian / Mandrake
update_menus (if detected) with several user choices.

Mikhael.
