Well the reason behind this dependency is that human-icon-theme inherits missing icons from tangerine. For example Synaptic icon.
So you have the option to have this theme install or "enjoy" the gray/red box and a floppy disk as an icon for Synaptic. There are a few other icons as well which I can track down if needed.
There not a lot of icons which are taken from tangerine by human (eg human has it's own folder icons). So the tangerine- icon-theme can be split to the human-dependable icons and the full tangerine.
There is history behind tangerine- icon-theme as being "community" maintained theme instead of "Canonical's human". I guess with Karmic breathe will take over human and then tangerine & possibly human can be simply moved to universe.
Imho this is invalid bug for ubuntu-desktop and instead bug in the tangerine- icon-theme that it upsets VRMS, is a bit big and used very little by the current default icon theme?
