I think I get it now; you're using "symbolic icon" to mean something
like "fallback icon for use when a simpler variant is needed".  Are
they in fact a "theme", or just packaged in the same way as a theme
for convenience?

If these icons are considered to be part of the default set, the bit
that's backwards in the current long description is only the claim
that this package *contains* the default icon theme.

Second draft:

  Description: GNOME desktop icon theme (symbolic icons)
   This package contains a set of icons used by the GNOME desktop.
   The icons are used in the panel menu, and in nautilus and other
   applications, to represent the different applications, files,
   directories, and devices.
   .
   These simplified icons are symbolic variations on the standard
   theme (see http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/SymbolicIcons).
