Ah, now I see what's the issue is. Ok, in package I just re-uploaded I
added "preinst" and "postinst" which solves this problem.
In "preinst" I forced removal of previous installation, which in my
case worked and gave me the look of new icons. It was easier for me
this way, instead of my previous try with dpkg-divert
"postinst" takes cares of the "GNOME" logo problem.

Ok, I moved all back to GPL. Even if this represents a problem I could
get upstram to quote it under GPL3 as he seems as a very good
cooperator and is eager to see Faenza in Debian.

I agree with what Adam said on this one:

I like to keep my gnome on bare minimum as well (don't have totem,
evolution, epiphany, empathy ...) but having this package "dissected"
into 3 separate one could only cause confusion among the users, so I'd
rather keep it in this form. If it represents that much of a problem I
could repackage source to bz2 and thus save ~2mb but I really don't
think this is necessary in this case.
