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.
