Like in numix-gtk-theme [1]. Alternative option is me filing wishlist bugs against all related packages.Go ahead with NMU, and yes I guess you can directly commit/push to the repository. At that point I think I should just remove myself from maintainers/uploaders of the theme packages, I'm unlikely to have time for them in the near future. Regards, - -- Yves-Alexisok. Will do the NMUs. Let me know, if / when you remove yourself from Uploaders: / Maintainer: fields (I will probably miss it if not pinged explicitly).
Re-thought this...I just rescheduled the NMUs of numix-gtk-theme and gtk2-engine-murrine, so that we can get the maintainer status straight, before the any-murrine-theme virtual package falls into the archive.
As introducing a virtual package is a bit of a hassle regarding Debian Policy inclusion etc. the question here remains about your plans regarding maintainer/uploader status for those murrine theme packages.
Because, if you choose to drop from maintainer/uploaders fields, I will go down a different route. In that case, we don't need a compromise, but just the next maintainer's decision. This could save us all (myself, policy team) the trouble of introducing a virtual package for this recommends situation entirely. I as maintainer would simply drop murrine-themes from Recommends: in gtk2-engine-murrine.
If you plan to continue with theme maintenance (esp. gtk2-engine-murrine), I am happy to introduce the virtual package any-murrine-theme as discussed earlier, announce it on debian-devel, make sure it gets added to policy, etc.pp.
If you plan to drop maintenance sooner or later anyway, then please state that asap (packages are in deferred-15 from today again), so that I can change the uploads and make these bugs go away without introducing a virtual package.
Thanks for you time!
