binary packages do not have independent versions from source packages, and
no one is going to repack all of the themes individually to create fully
independent source packages.

One or preferably both of the following would help:

  a) Why do we have two packages for themes again? Why can't these all be
     gnome-themes?

  b) Versioning gtk-engines with GNOME, as it's no longer maintained by the
     GTK+ folks.
