Tango doesn't have a 'save as template' icon anyway, so we couldn't
use it unmodified anyway. (Although I seem to remember reading that
the template icon has been left as a floppy? I did point out this
problem before...)

  I like this set of Icons I have in LibreOffice right now:
        http://wombat.org.ua/LibreOffice-icons.png
and I hope it will be possible to use them in future versions of
LibreOffice. Will it?

That is the Galaxy theme from version 3.3.x and 3.4.x (which curiously is the only theme included in LibreOfficePortable 3.3.x and 3.4.x)

What I can tell you is that the Galaxy theme is NOT one of the four Themes included and that you can't use a Theme from version 3.3.x or 3.4.x directly.

Only someone in the Design section can answer if there is a tool to convert the icon Theme to version 3.5.x...

In that case you create _additional_ icons (following the spec of
course), just as others have:
http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Library#Additional_Sets

The template save icon in 3.5 (sc/lc_saveasatemplate) is a combination
of the standard Tango template icon (text-x-generic-template.png/svg[1])
interposed over a floppy & hasn't changed from LO 3.3 and 3.4. That icon
has other issues besides using the floppy - the text for the icon is
simply 'Save', so it's easy to confuse with the document save icon 'Save
(Ctrl+S)'.

  Oh, so it is called "Galaxy". Thanks for the tip. I thought (for some
unknown reason) you were talking about some other theme. :)

  But the screenshot I gave a link to is a screenshot of LibreOffice
3.5.0 RC2 (if I'm remember correctly). In any case, it certainly is the
3.5-branch. And this theme was there when I upgraded from 3.4.x to
3.5.0 for the first time. Doesn't it mean that this theme is:
a) working with LO 3.5;
b) is included as a default theme?

  Thank you.

Yes, it is still included as Default (although for a new install you will get the Automatic (Tango) theme and have to manually switch to Default... a bit odd...)
Sorry for the confusion. I messed the Galaxy theme while hacking my "Tango-with-Floppy" theme :)
FYI the Galaxy theme is contained in images.zip in folder <your install folder>\share\config\
