Package: adwaita-icon-theme Version: 3.20-3 I believe the default GNOME install in Debian stretch installs adwaita-icon-theme but not gnome-icon-theme. That's ok, except there's one file missing: debian-swirl.svg (gnome-foot is also missing but it doesn't seem very important).
If debian-swirl is available, it's used on the GDM login screen. If it's not then there's no Debian branding on the login screen itself so that's a regression. https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-gnome/desktop/unstable/gdm3/debian/greeter.dconf-defaults?view=markup debian-swirl appears to have been rejected when adwaita-icon-theme was first packaged (as a rename of gnome-icon-theme) but I think this should be reconsidered now. adwaita-icon-theme (3.13.5-1) experimental; urgency=medium ... * debian/README.Debian, debian/debian-swirl.svg, debian/gnome-foot.svg, debian/postinst, debian/prerm, debian/triggers: Drop files related to gnome-foot and debian-swirl icons to avoid these files conflicting with gnome-icon-theme. (They are mainly useful for gnome-panel and I doubt gnome-panel will switch to this new package anytime soon.) * debian/rules: remove gnome-foot and debian-swirl related manual handling of the icon cache (drop --no-act). Perhaps, we should just drop gnome-icon-theme and gnome-icon-theme-symbolic all together and have them provided by adwaita-icon-theme. Just try browsing to https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-icon-theme/ Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
