Cool. I thought of something like:

<virtual package name>       icon theme compliant to the
freedesktop.org Icon Naming Specification

As for the package name itself, I like fdo-icon-theme. Would that be
too specific? I wonder if something more generic like
desktop-icon-theme would be more appropriate.

Since there has been no discussion in debian-devel, I found it
unnecessary to summarize the outcome of the discussion here. So, if
there's any questions about the proposal or the brief debian-desktop
discussion, please let me know and I'll try to clear it up.

Regards,
