 In [52940] it was made possible to activate a block theme without an
 `index.php`, but that file is still a requirement when uploading a theme
 via the theme install screen (tested with WP 6 RC1). I think that should
 not be the case, when activating is possible without it.

 To reproduce: Try to upload a ZIP containing a block theme without an
 index.php file-

Comment:

 Hi there, welcome back to WordPress Trac! Thanks for the ticket.

 Moving to the milestone for visibility, just in case this should be
 addressed for 6.0. Otherwise, I think this can be moved to 6.0.1 or 6.1.
