The theme-styles directory is (deprecated): its contents is not packaged and not integrated with drupal.org. You have to put your styles in a subdirectory of the 'themes/persian' (eg 'themes/persian/pastorale').

Sorry about that. I even asked the list, and still got it wrong because I interpreted the answer while reading the docs on the site. I expect I am not supposed to just change the text in the README all by myself, so here is a suggested patch for contributions/README.txt ----------------- 54a55,56

Alternate styles for existing themes should be submitted as subdirectories of that theme directory in this manner: themes/main_theme/new_style. 57c59 < Alternate styles for existing themes.

Use of this folder is deprecated.
