 Replying to [comment:3 Otto42]:
 > This is a generic problem with naming, not specific to child/parent
 themes. When you make your custom theme, I recommend choosing a name
 unique to the site, like "Example.com-themename" or what have you.

 Correct, but a sanity check on the parent/child situation of the theme is
 an additional way for us to know if we have the right theme.

 It's entirely possible that a theme switches to a different parent or
 child at one point, but I don't think the theme directory can or should
 support that ever, and thus this would be a safe check.
