What does Debian have to do with the programs that are missing a menu
icon? We package them, but I don't think that's reason enough to use
Debian's logo for unrelated things. People who use a Debian system, but
don't know much about the project itself, will soon come to associate
Debian's logo with all sorts of random stuff. That's not really a good
idea.

If you really, really insist on using the same icon for lots of
unrelated stuff, at least make a new one that doesn't have any existing
meaning and use.

Yes, perhaps yes. I really don't think adding default icons is The Right
Thing, but I still think that'd be better than nothing. It's a matter
of taste and opinion, I guess. I think the debian swirl is ok as a default
icon on my gnome menu, while Christian thinks it's ugly.

Nah, I know that's not the case. But I still believe the default icons
would make the menu look more consistent (I'm using them =P)

[]s!
