As stated on my reply to the original report, I only reassigned
because it seems to be a (small) issue in update-icon-caches and
certainly not in dpkg, but if there's a rationale for that behaviour
then I guess you can just close it.

As mentioned in my reply, the only (minor) issue here is that dpkg is
left thinking it owns some directories after remove that do not exist
anymore, because update-icon-caches removes the parent directories
after having removed the icon cache files:

,---
        # No more index.theme, remove the cache if it exists
        rm -f "$dir"/icon-theme.cache
        rmdir -p --ignore-fail-on-non-empty "$dir"
`---

On both the gtk2 and gtk3 versions of the script.

thanks,
