Comment (by Veraxus):

 That's not entirely accurate egorpromo...

 'after_switch_theme' is run by a NEW theme after the switch occurs (I'm
 not sure why $old_theme was chosen to be passed as an argument, but it has
 no bearing on the actual point where the action is run). Hence, it runs on
 activation.

 'switch_theme' is run when a switch is initiated... by the OLD theme,
 before the actual switch takes place. Hence, it runs on deactivation.
