Well, AFAICS that would work, however themes would still look different than
before and more importantly the look of the theme might change by adding or
removing other themes.

See:

 http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/vcl/source/gdi/impimagetree.cxx#102

defining the following fallbacks:
 galaxy => no fallback
 industrial => galaxy
 tango => galaxy
 breeze => galaxy
 sifr => breeze
 others => tango

So e.g. the human theme would fall back as follows:

 human => tango => galaxy

And thus installing or removing tango will change the look of the human theme.
Same for e.g. the libreoffice-style-elementary theme used by the XFCE guys.

Best,
