Human has already been broken by tdf#93145 in LibreOffice 5.0.
There is no way Ubuntu will ship a huge set of fallback themes to make Human
complete again, thus we only ship themes with galaxy as fallback -- the
ultimate fallback.

For upcoming releases see lp#1506544:

 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1506544

Note that does NOT mean we should immediately drop human. At least for
5.1/xenial it should be kept an transitional option.

Best,

Bjoern
