The icons directory (styles/standard/) in josm upstream svn is really an
external reference to
http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/share/map-icons/classic.small.
This is the source of the openstreetmap-map-icons* packages, too.

Once the openstreetmap-map-icons* package are updated josm should find
all icons it wants. 
Expecting thousands of new josm installations, 400kB (1.8Mb uncompressed) 
duplicated disk space and bandwidth is a lot, if you ask me :)
