Richard, no need to do that.  Just look at the files (png) within
/usr/share/icons/hicolor.  I do not have many on this build (very
little gnome, no kde, very little xfce) and mine come from cups,
evince, gimp, gtk3, inkscape, libreoffice, parole, qupzilla, vlc,
xfburn and xine.

I guess some packages will install their icons even if the directory
is not present, but without hicolor-icon-theme itself the index
presumably cannot be created.

I'm building hicolor-icon-theme shortly after I build
gobject-introspection and dbus-glib in the expectation that it
should be available for anything that wants to use it.

So, for your build-order you are correct that h-i-t did not create
that directory, because it already existed.
