I think there are two different issues. 1) have a better looking admin 2) give more options for scaffolding app (this include a choice of layout)
1) So far using a wordpress-like css would be my preferred choice. 2) The problems is that we cannot package too many files with the scaffolding app because they scare people away. What about include in admin a plugin to download "layout" plugins from the web (including image preview of the layout)? It would be easy to do within the current plugin system. We could have a blueprint plugin and a jquery.ui themes plugin for example.
