Comment (by dlh):

 I'm not sure that using the theme slug is going to be sufficient, or at
 least not in all cases. The primary reason is that some values in the
 changeset are shared among themes, such as `nav_menus_created_posts`.

 [attachment:40146.2.diff] is attempt to make the `starter_content` flag
 into an array with `'themeslug' => true`, but I suspect the direction of
 the patch as written is a dead end. There are a lot of self-inflicted
 annoyances, and themes can still overwrite other themes' settings.

 I'm planning to start fresh, having learned a few lessons from the patch.
 If it inspires any other ideas, I'm definitely open to them.
