drop suru-icon-theme (and use UBports' suru-icon-theme as upstream)

[Mike Gabriel]

As part of the initiative of packaging Lomiri (former Unity8) for Debian, I have just created a standalone source project for suru-icon-theme [1]. This will soon be packaged for and uploaded to Debian unstable.

The UBports developers have added several changes to "their" suru-icon-theme which makes it impossible to use suru-icon-theme from the ubuntu-theme src:pkg on Ubuntu Touch. On the other hand, UBports' suru-icon-theme should still be good to go with on Ubuntu.

Furthermore, for Debian upload, I preferred not to package the ubuntu specific artwork as a whole. The solution at UBports upstream was providing suru-icon-theme as a standalone upstream project.

Thus, I'd like to suggest dropping suru-icon-theme from Ubuntu Theme (at least the bin:pkg) and use the suru-icon-theme package being available in Debian soon('ish (dependening on NEW queue processing)).

The UBports devs are open to merge requests if that is required from time to time.

Thanks+Greets,

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I dropped suru-icon-theme from the ubuntu-themes source today and synced Debian's version of suru-icon-theme.

Awesome! Thanks!
