I wouldn't, because there are versions and localizations of the CC-BY-SA-NC license that are incompatible with other versions of the CC-BY-SA-NC license. More to the point, because of that incompatibility, my position is that if neither the specific localization, nor specific version of the CC-BY-SA-NC license are given, the the work is to be treated as if it was All Rights Reserved.

Didn't know about localizations but was aware of the versions (hence my attempt to find a way to fallback to something DFSG-compatible ;-) Unfortunately this makes things even worse and therefore such theme shall not enter main.

Since the license is some version of some localized CC-by-sa-nc, I would say that this theme has no chance to enter main: as far as I know, the non-commercial (nc) license element makes it non-free (even from the "not so strict" point of view of the FTP Masters...).
