Bug#709589: gnome-themes-standard-data: Installation of package fails because of missing directory

[Robert Ewald]

Package: gnome-themes-standard-data
Version: 3.8.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The package fails to install because the directory /usr/share/icons/default is missing. 

--snip--
update-alternatives: using /usr/share/icons/Adwaita/cursor.theme to provide /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme (x-cursor-theme) in auto mode
update-alternatives: error: error creating symbolic link `/usr/share/icons/default/index.theme.dpkg-tmp': No such file or directory
--snip--

After doing 
# mkdir -p /usr/share/icons/default 
The package installs without complaint.

Thank you for your work on Debian.
