Well, as I understand it, the icons would actually reside under
/usr/share/..., and (perhaps) /usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps would
link to it.  The rationale is to try to get architecture independant
data (i.e., pixmaps) into a single tree (/usr/share) so they could be
better shared between systems (think NFS mounts between Debian/Alpha
and Debian/x86).
