At the end of the day if a theme completely changes the code for a template no matter how clever we make the package manager we'll never get it to adapt the template correctly.

I know this isn't the place for suggestions, but this is related to a suggestion of how you could fix the mod/theme problem - installing themes as mods. Have it edit the default theme appropiately, or even make a copy of the current default theme files that need to be edited into a new folder, make the changes, and you're done. Sure, it won't install perfect 100% of the time, which is why'd it be an option you could turn on or off.

Installing themes as mods won't help anything.

Meh :\ I figured if you had all mods installed before hand, and if the theme you had only did minor edits to the default theme to function, it could work..
Dannii:
If the mods only do minor edits then they'll work the way Grudge and the other devs are working on.
redone:
As Grudge said its a fair enhancement. With the simple fact that there are so many mods, so many themes this will always make it hard to deliver a solution that will work 100% of the time.
It will certainly make most users life's a lot easier.
