Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 1.8.20-1.1

Dear Maintainers,

the icon in the network manager applet VPN connection notification uses 
the name "gnome-lockscreen" (in the "src/applet.c" file). This name is 
not present in modern icon themes such as Adwaita and thus a recommends 
dependency on "gnome-icon-theme" was added to "network-manager-applet" 
source package in version 1.24.0-2 (to solve Debian bug 990252).

Perhaps it would be better to use the standard icon name for this icon 
instead and avoid the recommends dependency on "gnome-icon-theme". 
According to Standard Icon Names in the Icon Naming Specification 
(https://specifications.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/latest) the 
most suitable name is "system-lock-screen".

Maybe an optional symbolic icon name "system-lock-screen-symbolic" could 
be also supported for users who prefer symbolic icons (to maybe stay 
compatible with their monochrome display or because they find it 
confusing to see colors, options in settings and so on:).

Jokes aside, the icon name "gnome-lockscreen" is also used in the 
current stable, testing and unstable versions:

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 1.8.20-1.1
Version: 1.20.0-3
Version: 1.30.0-2

Regards,
Jmkr
