I think the best solution would be something like the kernel-package
package that takes a common formated tree, such as the themes from
*.themes.org and creates a Debian packages out of it. This will save
space on the main archive and allow for the latest theme to be added to
the system without having to wait for a maintainer to upload it to the
archive. Just grab what ever one you want and build your own package
and install it.
