Comment:
Hrm, I think if we're going to use icons, we should use the Real(tm) icons
for the software, as opposed to say, inventing our own MATLAB icon. This
ostensibly causes a redistribution problem and makes it Non-Free(tm). We
can a) do something stupid like have the package download the icons at
build time; b) do something stupider like have the package download the
icons at install time, and run them through imagemagick as necessary; c)
do something else stupid that results in things like Iceweasel; d) wontfix
this; e) do it anyway and explicitly prevent redistribution in the
copyright file, though I suspect that violates Debian Policy(tm)
