Seems a bit drastic just to get rid of the default theme. On my system
this wants to remove 438 packages covering most if not all of Xfce, the
only desktop I have installed.

The problem is that desktop-base has an explicit Depends: on
clearlooks-phenix-darkpurpy-theme where alternatives could be provided
or a meta-package to pull in a theme so that admins can control the
system-wide default more easily.

That said, I like darkpurpy so have no intent to improve the current
situation.
