Hi Jörn,
Actually Numix receives pretty frequent updates.  They are adding new
application icons all the time.  I am surprised at how often I see Numix
in my updates.. around 100 icons since we began using them (if I
remember right... though it may be a bit less...
They also added a 'light' theme recently as well, for people who want to
use dark icons in their light colored panel.
Basically, in September I had version 0.2+201409110816~649
And now (this is the fifth package I have cached from building the OS) I
am up to
0.2+201411142001~671
I think the last number is the revision number from git... though I
haven't looked at their recipe too closely...
This is the main reason I want to keep it up to date.  I don't want to
have an out of date icon theme, as I think it doesn't do the authors
justice.  They work really hard and I want our users to see all the
improvements they make.

That said, I fully understand why you would assume it didn't need a
PPA... most icon themes stay fairly static for years.
