Bug#831828: libgtk2.0-0: GTK+ 2 is not GNOME and should not depend on GNOME icons

severity 831828 serious
stop

Severity serious for violating Debian policy manual, section 7.2:

> The Depends field should be used if the depended-on package is
> required for the depending package to provide a significant amount of
> functionality.

and forcing GNOME and GTK3 dependency creep on GTK2 applications seems
severe enough in my opinion.
