Plugins Integrated Within Themes are Not Disabled When The Theme Is Disabled

Description

By Default few themes come with integrated plugins or modules. Once theme is disabled the default plugins for the themes are still active.

This is not a hassle but those plugins become redundant once the theme has been deactivated so the plugins integrated with themes should be deactivated accordingly.

Suggestion is to create better management of theme based plugins and core plugins, by default the the both should not be clubbed together.

Thanks
Keith

This strikes me as the responsibility of theme/plugin authors; the deactivation hooks are there for them to use, after all.

IMO, Its the responsibility of the author to make sure the plugins are deactivated.

See also #7795(Activate and Deactivate Theme hooks). Its currently possible for themes to detect deactivations (switch_theme hook) so i'm closing this as a duplicate of the above.
