Nyah, here is the solution:
https://wiki.debian.org/AppStream/Guidelines#Icon_best_practices

"Your GUI application must ship (or reference, see below) an icon of at
least 64x64px in size, which should be in
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/%{size}/apps/. This avoids accidential
upscaling of icons. Please avoid placing icons in /usr/share/pixmaps and
place them in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/%{size}/apps/ instead."

Also:

"Please do not ship icons in the .xpm format. Ideally have them
available as .png bitmap and/or .svg vectorgraphic in their respective
subdirectories under /usr/share/icons/hicolor. Applications with only
.xpm icons will not be included in the metadata."

bacula-qt-console does only ship a PNG icon in /usr/share/pixmaps and
this does pass the test of AppStream Generator. So we might get away
with this at the moment.

Grüße,
Sven.
