 Hi. This could be vaguely related to #37924 but I've started versioning my
 themes and producing zip files with version numbers in them, ie
 `foo-2.1.6b.zip` - I've noticed that I can't delete them using the admin
 interface. I press the delete button and the slug name is `foo-216b` - the
 periods have been stripped out and the delete fails. So for a theme
 directory of `honw-0.0.1b` It fails. The front end gives a message
 "Deletion failed: The requested theme does not exist". The JSON payload is
 as follows:
 {{{
 {
     "success": false,
     "data": {
         "delete": "theme",
         "slug": "honw-001b",
         "errorMessage": "The requested theme does not exist."
     }
 }
 }}}
