Package: microhope
Version: 5.3.3+repack-3
Severity: important
Tags: forky sid
Control: block 1103556 by -1

Usertags: oldlibs gnome-icon-theme
microhope Depends on gnome-icon-theme, the icon theme formerly used by
GNOME. gnome-icon-theme was abandoned upstream years ago (the icon
theme used in modern GNOME is called Adwaita) and it should probably be
removed from Debian during the forky cycle.
Can this dependency be removed?
The dependency seems to have been added in 2014, but unfortunately
without any indication in the changelog why it was necessary.
The GNOME upstream recommendation for apps that rely on specific icons
at runtime is to include the necessary icon with the app. If the icon is
used to represent the app itself in menus and .desktop files, it should
normally have the app ID as its filename and be installed into the
default "hicolor" icon theme directory. If the icon is used internally
within the app, for example to be part of a button or a menu bar, it can
be loaded from a private data directory or embedded in the executable
using the GResource mechanism.
There are also adwaita-icon-theme (the icon theme used by modern GNOME,
which has been reduced to only the icons required by GNOME itself) and
adwaita-icon-theme-legacy (which is somewhat larger). Either of those
would be a better dependency than gnome-icon-theme, if they're
sufficient.
Thanks,
smcv
