The answer depends a little on specifics, but generally. 1. If you are utilizing icons that are installed on a system by another package (through a package dependency), you don’t need to reference them in debian/copyright at all. 2. If you are including the icons in your package, as long as their licenses are compatible, you list them in debian/copyright the same as you would any other file. -- Soren Stoutner soren@debian.org
