Yes I do.

Summary: The orig tarball for this package does not contain
directory entries. This is easy to check with this command:

tar tvf numix-icon-theme_0~20161113.45878a1.orig.tar.xz | grep ^d

This is probably not a bug by itself, and that's why I'm downgrading
to wishlist, but it's annoying enough to the point that some build
schemes (sbuild + overlayfs + recent kernel) do not currently work.

The patch below should fix the problem as far as this package is
concerned. It should be noted that the real bug is in the kernel,
and this is just a workaround (we don't know when/if the kernel
bug will be fixed).

If you say that you can't reproduce it with Ubuntu, maybe the kernel
of Ubuntu has this issue already fixed. In such case, please do nothing
and give me some time to check this in Debian proper.

Thanks.
