There's no reason that quality sound themes that don't get chosen for
the default install couldn't be distributed in universe. We already
offer the community-themes package with GTK+ and Metacity themes
contributed by the community. As the person doing most of the
packaging end stuff for community-themes, I'd be willing to do the
same for a community-sound-themes package.
