I found it in X11/gnome-applets 1.4.0.5-4 in the testing distribution
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=gnome-battery.png&searchmode=searchfilesanddirs&case=insensitive&version=testing&arch=i386
I found out that I had the following pacakges installed:
libcapplet0
libpanel-applet0
I purged them to see what happens. If that solves it I will send another
email.
I had to keep libcapplet1 as evolution depends on it.
