 Hi,

 `register_activation_hook`, `register_deactivation_hook` &
 `register_uninstall_hook` are very helpful for plugins but for themes
 there is no such thing, '''yes i do know''' the existence of
 `after_switch_theme` & `switch_theme` but there is no `after_delete_theme`
 action and never will be, cause there is no access to theme php files
 after deactivation.

 That is why i suggest to use "the plugin approach" with themes :), what do
 you think ?
