I could confirm this with piuparts, i.e. making hicolor-icon-theme
noawait (in stretch or stretch+jessie) as well does not change the game.
Full logs with dpkg trigger debug output available, if someone is
interested.
Another observation I made is that dpkg was already upgraded during the
'apt-get upgrade' phase, so the dpkg reporting the trigger cycle is the
one from stretch. Improving debug output there or making trigger related
fixed should be possible.
