Bug#885134: gnome-icon-theme-extras: Don't include in Debian

[Jeremy Bicha]

Source: gnome-icon-theme-extras
Version: 3.12.0-1
Severity: serious

This theme has been unmaintained upstream since March 2014. While
arguably, an icon theme may not need much maintainance…

- It provides some additional icons for the GNOME icon theme but the
GNOME icon theme is unmaintained and deprecated. The replacement is
the Adwaita icon theme, but upstream intentionally does not have
Adwaita inherit from the GNOME theme (so these icons won't be usable
by default).

- Many of the icons are in the Adwaita theme now.

- Several icons are not. But some of these are for ancient phones like
the Nexus One.

- In general, I think that if there are important missing icons, they
should be requested to be moved to the Adwaita icon theme directly.
Alternatively, someone could make an adwaita-icon-theme-extras package
but be careful about 2 packages shipping the same file if upstream
does eventually adopt some of the icon names.

- No reverse depends. However, 'gnome-core' used to Depend on it
before Stretch, which explains its lingering high popcon.

I am filing this bug to allow a bit of comment and notice with the
auto-removal before requesting that gnome-icon-theme-extras be
complete removed from Debian.

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
