In Karmic software-center only presented GUI applications (with a few
special exceptions). This is no longer the case in Lucid. Searching
for "community themes" in software-center will now show the desired
package. Though if you just search for themes, it is buried deeply and
applications are still featured more prominently.

See this blueprint for reference:

I'm not sure how we can make it more findable. One idea would be to
ask the desktop-team to consider placing it in the featured section.
Although, the current criteria states that featured packages should be
applications. You might want to send an email asking about this to the
desktop list.
