Not sure why you need that.  As I wrote in ubuntu-user.  I did a fresh 
install from the CD and the theme I got was very plain and 
non-offensive. Only when I selected the Calendar theme manually, did I 
get the image wallpaper, but still a conservative GDM and splash.  If 
you actively select the Human theme, then you could also just as easily 
actively delete it if anyone is that concerned. Adding the boot-option 
you mentioned, is probably just drawing attention to a non-issue.
