Thanks for clarification! I didn't realize that apt-file was not looking into
the right branch.

Yeah. I should have used `dpkg`.

So finally, I think that you're half right: yes it is about Awesome, but it's
not that it doesn't read SVG, but it's that it's giving up on scanning the whole
directory since the current code for doing that is not yet efficient enough.

This issue can be closed I think. Thank you for your quick and bright response!
