 I think there's a couple things we could do:
 1. If your old theme only has one menu and your new theme only has one
 menu, just map them automatically
 2. If your old theme and new theme share a similar IDs or names, map them
 automatically
 3. If your old theme has more than one menu, or your new theme has more
 than one menu, map the menu in the first menu location in your old theme
 to the first menu location in the new theme.

 FWIW I hate menu locations :)
