 Hi,

 many users try to install plugins as themes and than they get a message
 stylesheet missing.

 "The theme is missing the style.css stylesheet"

 The same with installing themes as plugins.

 "The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found."

 I think it would make it much easier for the people to make the upload
 unified and check the header to find out if its a theme or plugin and than
 just redirect to the correct page after the instal.

 Or at least add a message "This is a plugin please go to this page to
 install it" and "This is a Theme please go to this page to install it"
