I did try running a debdiff on adwaita-icon-theme before uploading
because I was concerned that icons might have been dropped. My debdiff
came up clean but maybe I did it wrong.

When I asked in #gnome-design before uploading, I was told
emphatically that no icons were dropped in the 42 series but that
these symbolic app icons would be dropped early in the 43 release:
