One thing to consider as well is that while in the past X11 was the only windowing system available, there are a few others out there now. If sarge+1 (for example) includes a nice Fresco environment, the terms "pixels" and "pixmaps" become sort of meaningless anyway. There might also be a OpenGL-based environment. Just speculating, sure, but it could lead to problems when requiring each package to ship its icons. This is an issue similar to tasks: Either each package ships lots of stuff, so all maintainers have more work, or separate packages care about this (say, menu-scalable and menu-3d), so incompleteness will happen.
