In case you're considering to propose changes to the styling of Debian
Installer and in particular the graphical installer, please take note of
this mail [1] as it outlines my objections to the previous attempts by the
desktop people to "force" their theme on us.

Since that mail we have received no new proposals from the desktop people,
and as we ourselves are quite happy with the current theme for the
graphical installer (and busy with other things), the theme currently in
use remains unchanged from Etch.

If anyone is still wanting to propose changes for Lenny, my personal
position is basically unchanged: they should come up with proposals that
satisfy the requirements listed in [1]. Also, given the release timeline
they'll have to be pretty quick about it to allow sufficient time for
discussion, implementation and testing.

Cheers,
FJP
