The gnome-themes-standard-common binary package is superfluous.
Afaics the gettext translations are only required to translate the
index.theme and background.xml files where the translations are directly
embedded, so you don't actually need to install the .mo files.

I would thus suggest to simply drop gnome-themes-standard-common.

Please also make gnome-theme-standard depend on gnome-accessibility-themes.

Also, gnome-accessibility-themes needs a Breaks along with the Replaces.
