This is effectively what Debian does, as well.  However, I've never
been motivated enough to package the external PLT packages for use
because of the problems already discussed.  I would effectively have
to create a wrapper for the PLT code that declared the dependencies,
etc.  This would be useful work for the users' perspective, but I've
been holding off until I had time to build something more automated.

Many of the X-Window Manager themes from themes.org can be automatically
packaged into Deb's (I hear), in some automated fashion.  My goal would
be to do something similar for Debian (modulo time).
