The icons directory (styles/standard/) in josm upstream svn is really an external reference to http://svn.openstreetmap.org/applications/share/map-icons/classic.small. This is the source of the openstreetmap-map-icons* packages, too. > > I think that the best solution is to not drop josm's icons when > creating the tarball from the SVN, but letting them into the archive a > make josm use them.

Once the openstreetmap-map-icons* package are updated josm should find all icons it wants. Expecting thousands of new josm installations, 400kB (1.8Mb uncompressed) duplicated disk space and bandwidth is a lot, if you ask me :) Cheers, Andreas
