Is that really a problem? I don't think having one package per target is a good idea either, and the point of desktop-base is to provide the debian branding. On the opposite, shipping the theme in plymouth means plymouth has to be updated at each release, which is a bit problematic, there's not much manpower in desktop base packaging team (read: just me for Squeeze, it seems)and it's easy to lose track of all packages needing update...
