The last paragraph of menu-icon-missing's description:

"""
Tag: menu-icon-missing
Severity: normal
Certainty: possible
Info: [...]
 .
 If the icon is in a package this package depends on, add a lintian
 override for this warning.  lintian cannot check icons in other
 packages.
"""

is no longer true and needs to be updated.  The "menu-icon-missing"
warning will not appear if you process bzflag-data and bzflag-client
together[1].

[1] That is:

lintian -IivE ../bzflag-client_2.4.2+ds1-1_i386.deb \
  ../bzflag-data_2.4.2+ds1-1_all.deb
