[Debian GNUstep maintainers] Bug#861885: pl2link works quite good

[Gürkan Myczko]

Package: gnustep-base-runtime
Version: 1.24.9-3.1
Severity: wishlist

doesn't convert icon images if they are tiff (which is often the case):
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html#definitions
of course fd.o only supports png, xpm, svg.

in my test with pl2link on *Info.plist of TextEdit and EasyDiff the 
following was generated.
(one being in plist text format, the other xml)
