Comment (by Otto42):

 Testing it now.

 Notes:

 - Check the 13774.3.diff before commit. There's two sections of debug code
 that needs to be removed first. Both are marked with TODO's.

 - Works for pre-existing parent themes (mazeld depends on twenty-ten):

 {{{

 The Parent theme, Twenty Ten 1.3, is currently installed.

 Successfully installed the theme Mazeld 1.0.
 }}}

 Works for children that don't have a parent installed (multi depends on
 desk-mess-mirrored):

 {{{

 - Works for both cases in direct mode.

 - Works for both cases when forcing FTP mode (ftpsockets). Note, tested on
 localhost, so PHP timeouts not a problem in this case. But nothing much
 that can be done about that anyway.

 - FTP Filesystem finder works correctly to find the right directories on a
 multi-single-site install in FTP mode. Tested with 8 subdirectory WP
 installs on localhost and the FTP directory pointing at the htdocs root
 (so it can see them all).

 Looks good to me. Remove the debug lines and should be good to go. UI
 details can be adjusted later if needed.
