In the readme.txt file, under "Build your own sub-theme", adding the following instruction will help users have their new sub theme be correctly labeled in the list of themes (currently the new theme is indistinguishable in the list from the existing Starter Kit):

Edit the STARTERKIT.info file in your sub-theme's folder; in the line
defining the name, replace Zen Themer’s Starter Kit with the name of your
theme.

For example, edit the line

name = Zen Themer’s Starter Kit

to read

name = foo

Hope this is roughly accurate and of some use.

Thanks to all Zen developers for a great theme!

I agree with kay_v and attached a new version of README.TXT.

The new step is:

  3. Edit the .info file in your sub-theme's folder; replace the one occurance of
     "STARTERKIT" with the name of your sub-theme. Also, replace the name and
     description of the subtheme in this file.
     
     For example, change STARTERKIT.info to foo.info, change "name =  Zen Themer’s Starter Kit"
     with "name = foo subtheme" and lastly change the description from "description = Read the..." to
     "description = This is a foo theme"
