Instructions are VERY hard to explain, but i will have a go regardless.

Download the appropriate deb packages for your architecture.
Extract the "control.tar" and the "data.tar" from the package.deb into a 
"working directory" these directories should be separate, and have nothing 
inside that is not relevant.
There should now be one folder, called usr, and one file called control.
Create a new directory called DEBIAN, in capitals. Put the control file in 
there.
Edit the control file. Depending on what package it is:
For example, you are editing the new-human control file, you want to remove the 
ubuntulooks package from replaces AND conflicts. Also (this is important) make 
the version number higher. Like, put an 'a' after it. then save.

Do the same to the other control file.

THIS IS VITAL!
In the ubuntulooks package, rename the directory 
/WORKINGDIR/usr/share/themes/Human to 
/WORKINGDIR/usr/share/themes/Human-Ubuntulooks

Now, go into the working directory's root. Open up a terminal there and type:
   dpkg-deb -b WORKINGDIR /packagename.deb

This will make a debian package called packagename.deb in the directoy
you are currently in.

Install and enjoy, ask me for any help.
