As Bastian has pointed out, wiki.debian.org has a butt-ugly theme. I agree.
Some of the people that were present in Extremadura in September know that I was working at the time to make a wiki theme more integrated with the www.debian.org theme.
The result is partially complete, but is better, IMHO, than the ugly default theme. Sceenshots and the source is available (in a darcs repo). If anyone cares to continue and close all the remaining points, I would be glad to see that theme changed.
Unless somebody does something about both issues.
Comments are welcome! Contributions are welcome, you just do:

And hack on that modern-wiki.debian.org theme

The current wiki theme should be improved and the idea of having a consistent theme for debian.org is great(Ubuntu implemented this quite well). Just took a quick look of the screen shots and below are a few observations:
Horizontal navigation bar: The navy background of links just doesn't go with the red bar.
Curvy corners: although the -moz CSS rules degrade pretty fine in Konqueror, the quality of the curves is a bit distracting. That effect can possible be accomplished by other CSS tricks.
The blue navigation menu could be improved by taking the ideas used in the similar navigation menu on mozilla.org
In case you're still running the sarge package, you might want to do a test migration to the etch version with any customizations you make now. I just got done with a migration that could have gone better.
