I like the layout, however I don't know about the requirement of the parent style having to be active. What if I only want the child style to be available for users to select but not the parent?

A similar option is selected as the forums through a drop-down menu.

It's supposed to work in such way that child themes do not overlap completely their parent themes. So, if you don't want a user to be able to see a parent theme and not the child theme, then you'll have only a partial theme where things are going to be missing.
If you have a complete new theme, don't make it child of another theme, just point that it was made based on that theme.
Hum... nextgen has the 2nd part of my answer

It will work fine. Deactivating style only hides it from user selection, it doesn't do anything else, so template inheritance works fine regardless of style status and users can select child styles if parent has been deactivated.

Just in case you're confusing terminology, installed != active. Yes there are requirements for parent styles to be installed before child styles are, but the parent style does not have to be active for child styles to be.

I've tried to redo all commits, messed up pull request while doing it, so I've closed old PR and made new one instead: https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb3/pull/577
