Bug Description

[Impact]
Severely reduces the initial impression of LibreOffice on a fresh install from ISO.

[Test Case]
STEPS:
1. Install the latest daily cd image
2. Open libreoffice writer check the theme and close it

EXPECTED:
I expect the theme to always be human unless I explicitly change it

ACTUAL:
The default theme on a new install is galaxy, though human is installed.

(Alternatively: Test what theme LibreOffice selects when ~/.config/libreoffice is rm-rfed and there are libreoffice-style-human and libreoffice-style-galaxy installed)

[Regression Potential]
Very low. No fallout expected from the change back to a better default theme: Trivial low risk two-line fix.

Root cause: Because of:

 https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93145

the themes including human" are not self contained anymore. Thus we need to install galaxy along with human, otherwise human would miss icons. We do this.

However, on a new install without any ~/.config/libreoffice profile, LibreOffice now defaults to galaxy, not human. This wasnt observed in upgrade migrations and tests as those always had an preexisting profile.

affects: ubuntu → libreoffice (Ubuntu)

I fixed this in LibreOffice 5 by explicitly installing libreoffice-gtk3 in Ubuntu 14.04 amd64. I think it has something to do with VCL and GTK+3 integration. I have galaxy installed too.

I can see all icons in human and sifr themes now.
