The idea is that multiple variations on the same icon theme may exist.

another one gets added in the future.

Look at it this way: icon-themes-foo is the collection of all foo
icontheme variants. That's correct even if there is only one variant at
this time.
Differentiating packages by name because they include one or multiple
iconthemes would be a Dumb Idea IMO. Placing all variants in a different
package would be driving the split (which I do favour on a level of
GTK/icon/WM themes) too far.
