This one gets my vote.

I think it's a good idea in general, and it'll be trivial for me to alter
my packages to suit, so I'm not too fussed about what direction is taken.

However, my package uses /usr/share/pixmaps, for a bunch of pixmaps, which
I think gives a much better description of what is actually _in_ that
directory, as opposed to /usr/share/icons.  I don't have icons, I have
pixmaps.
