It sounds like WP should have a way of forcing options to be associated 
with their themes, and cleanup options that are independant of theme 
code.  For example add_option would automatically associate the option 
with a particular theme, maybe by directory name.  Then after such a 
theme no longer exists or is deactivated, WP presents an option to 
"clean up theme options for theme X"
