You should be able to use Files-Excluded in debian/copyright in
conjunction with uscan:

This only applies to the Debian menu, i.e. the menu organized by the
debian/*.menu files. This still needs 32x32 icons in XPM format. This
does not affect the icons that are displayed e.g. in Gnome Shell.

Yes, for .desktop files, i.e. the ones that are used to show icons in
e.g. Gnome Shell, you can use SVG graphics or high-res PNG graphics.

Cheers,

PS: Please don't do version numbering stunts just to get rid of the
epoch, it's really not worth the trouble. ;)
