I was using the theme from the wordpress-theme-twentyfifteen debian package, which installed to /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/themes/twentyfifteen, with a symlink to that created in /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/themes/.
I had customized colours and added a logo to the theme using the wordpress admin web interface, which I believe just saves the customizations in the wordpress database. Upon upgrade from wordpress 4.1 to wordpress 4.7, when I logged on as the admin, I was prompted to perform a wordpress DB upgrade, which I accepted. After that, when I went to my wordpress page, it had reverted to the default look from the twentyfifteen theme. I assume the DB upgrade failed to preserve the customizations. I was able to redo my colour and logo changes in the admin web interface.
