Functionally they wouldn't differ from one another, the only difference
would be that the core packages wouldn't include the code necessary to
bootstrap a theme as a package.

If there were a way to generate "autoloaded" code as a side effect of
byte compilation or something, then deftheme would take care of that.
But I don't know enough about the bootstrapping process to say how
feasible that is or not.
