Bug Description

It doesn't make sense for one source package to bundle two different themes with two different upstream maintainers.

It is confusing when someone has to report a bug like bug 1586691 which may very well be fixed for numix soon but may take longer for greybird.

Also, the version numbers appear to be being increased without any clear rationale.

The latest upstream releases are:
https://github.com/shimmerproject/Greybird/releases
https://github.com/numixproject/numix-gtk-theme/releases

Numix 2.6.0 (June 2016)
Greybird 1.6.2 (September 2015)
Actual Ubuntu version: 2.1.2

In conclusion, I think we should have a separate source package: numix-gtk-theme with a version number 2.6.0-0ubuntu1. shimmer-themes can still depend on it if desired.

  * greybird-gtk-theme and numix-gtk-theme have been split off
    to separate source packages (LP: #1593038)
  * Wallpapers are now included as part of their respective
    themes
  * This package now only contains the shimmer-themes metapackage.
  * Drop obsolete Breaks/Replaces
  * Suggest the other Shimmer Project themes
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.8
  * Switch debian/source/format to 3.0 (native)
