apt-file looks at all the apt sources you have available, so you're seeing
the PNG icons in the version in stable. To see what's in the version you
actually have installed, use `dpkg -L gnome-contacts`.

It looks as though since 3.31.3, gnome-contacts only installs scalable
icons in SVG format. This appears to have been a deliberate upstream
change. Is Awesome unable to display those?
