Sure, it would be the right fix. On the other hand I thought that it does
make sense to fall back to Ubuntu-specific icons in the Human theme even
with Tango, but bummer, I wasn't aware of the dependency loop. Will
everything break to pieces with such a loop or will the system cope with
it?

(Especially considering that tango-icon-theme is in universe I did not
expect an inheritance to it, having main self-contained.)
