At the moment the only way to customize the maintenance / off-line notice is by changing stylesheet maintenance.css. and change /misc/favicon.ico, both belonging to core Drupal. It would be nicer when that would be the default and that the theme would be able to overrule it.

Well, the maintenance theme has to run even if the database is not available, so allowing theme overrides is out of the question.

Other ways to allow making it easier to theme have been discussed. I can't remember if the target was 6.x or 7.x though....
