Comment(by JohnMyr):

 Atm there is 3 theme frameworks in WP.org top 10 download list, and the
 repository has yet not been modified to show/support child themes. Support
 for a upload pack with child themes will benefit users now that theme
 frameworks have proven to be popular.

 @josepscott: I`ll quote your from a reply by you over at Justin Tadlocks
 post about the theme repository need for change:

 ''Because the install process is hands free we could add the necessary
 information to ensure that both child theme and the parent theme get
 installed.''

 directory-needs-an-upgrade#comment-113770]

 Adding some way to unpack a framework zip containing child themes will be
 a great solution, until other and better solutions are implemented in the
 install procedure and the repository.
