Yes, "qt6-svg-plugins" is needed for those icons. However, I'm afraid 
there isn't much more we can do dependency wise without causing other 
problems.

Ideally, we would like qt6-svg-plugins to be a dependency of libqt6gui6, 
but qt6-svg-plugins in itself already depends on libqt6gui6. By adding 
that dependency as you suggest it would create a circular dependency 
which we want to avoid.
Therefore, qt6-svg-plugins is recommended by libqt6gui6, i.e. it should 
be installed by default. Since it wasn't installed for you, are you 
maybe not installing recommended packages by default ?
