Comment:

 > There's an error when you try to install a package containing parent and
 couple of child themes using zip package upload from the admin dashboard.

 Yes, The theme installer as well as plugin installer, were only built to
 handle a single theme/plugin to be contained within.

 If !WordPress supports themes being in sub-sub-sub dir's of the themes
 directory, then it probably needs to be updated... but not sure how
 WordPress is going to detect which folder is to be copied..
