No backend theme on s9y 2.0 beta

I just tried to install an instance of serendipity 2.0 beta. When I select one of the older themes, e.g. "default" (which I usually use as the basis for manual theme creation) the backend has no theme at all.

This is what I see in the html source:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="" />

I assume what's going on here is that s9y expects the theme to have a backend style shipped and these old themes don't have one. I think it'd make sense to have some kind of fallback backend css (maybe from the new default theme) that jumps in in this case (?).

It's actually a bug which has since been fixed.

We have been meaning to release a 3rd beta, but there were some issues which needed to be fixed before putting that out. Meanwhile, you could use a current snapshot of the 2.0 branch if you need it, but the 3rd beta should be out soon.
