The human-icon-theme largely (depends on / inherits from) the tangerine-icon-theme. Since the human-icon-theme is in the community repository I think it would make sense to provide a tangerine-icon-theme as package in community as well.
This task depends upon

I cannot verify that this is the case. Ubuntu's own human-icon-theme package has no dependency on another icon theme.

I'm not sure how to proceed.

the index.theme file specifies it inherits missing icons from Tangerine.

Thank you for the information. I didn't know that. :)

I see that it also specifies the 'gnome' icon theme. Maybe it would be better to add a dependency on that instead?

The way I understand the icon theme spec:

Inherits=Tangerine,gnome

means inherit icons from Tangerine, but if that is not installed inherit from gnome.

If you look in the tangerine index.theme, you'll see that tangerine inherits from gnome itself, so you'll end up with the following path lookup:

human -> tangerine -> gnome


If you don't include tangerine, the whole human theme wouldn't look as complete as could be, since it would pick up icons from the gnome icon theme that are overridden in the tangerine icon theme. Not sure why ubuntu didn't have a package dependency on tangerine, perhaps that they wanted to leave it up to the people whether they wanted or not, to save disk space.
