Description: Create and extract MS Windows icons and cursors
 Icoutils is a set of programs that deal with MS Windows icons and
 cursors. Resources such as icons and cursors can be extracted from MS
 Windows executable and library files with "wrestool". Conversion of
 these files to and from PNG images is done with "icotool". "extresso"
 automates these tasks with the help of special resource scripts.
 .
 This package can be used to create "favicon.ico" files for web sites.


So this functionality is already included in Debian. And in the manpage
of icotool,

   The  icotool  program  converts and creates icon (.ico) and cursor
(.cur) files.
   At the moment icons can only be created from and extracted into
   PNG files. This is done using libpng.
