IANAL but the icons are not part of the work (the browser); they are trademarks for purposes of identification of an integration with a third-party service; they don't have to be DFSG-free, just redistributable by Debian (and possibly not even that because this usage could fall into fair use, as long as there is no claim or appearance that the third-party endorses the work).
Best regards.
