there is another way to install Bluecurve on Ubuntu that might be easier
for you. On

http://themes.freshmeat.net/projects/bluecurvedebian/

you can find a Debian package for Bluecurve (actually it's included in
the tar.gz file that can be downloaded on this page). Don't install the
package like you are used to do - installing this package might even not
work on Debian itself. But you can open the deb file with file-roller
and extract the included file data.tar.gz. This file contains the Gnome
theme and icon theme that can just be copied to the appropiate
directories .themes/ and .icons/ in your home directory so that you can
use this theme (if you really want to use it, I personally *love*
Ubuntu's Human theme).

I didn't test this on Dapper but only on Breezy. I don't have a PPC,
either, but I assume that this might not be important, since it's just
another Gnome theme.

Cheers, Jochen
