Probably this:
https://wiki.debian.org/AppStream/Guidelines#No_symbolic_links

Since the AppStream Generator relies on packages' md5sums file to
determine the contents of a package, symbolic links are not
recognized. So please do not symlink .desktop files or icons from
other places into /usr/share/pixmaps or the /usr/share/icons/hicolor
subdirectories, because the generator will not see these files then.
Relying on symbolic links in icon-theme packages is fine though.
