Comment 12 for bug 1510709

Hi,

It is libgtk-3-common, which starting from Jessie in Debian, brings in adwaita-icon-theme as a mandatory dependency.

https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-icon-theme/+question/274092

******************
In Debian Wheezy:
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libgtk-3-common

there are no icon themes in the depends.

In Debian Jessie:
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/libgtk-3-common

dep: adwaita-icon-theme (>= 3.14) appears.

then it's also there in Stretch and in sid.

adwaita-icon-theme in return brings in hicolor-icon-theme:
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/adwaita-icon-theme

From there, in Ubuntu Wily where I noticed several big icon themes coming soon while building a custom setup in my computer using a mini.iso:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/wily/libgtk-3-common
→ adwaita-icon-theme

and:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/wily/adwaita-icon-theme

We get the followin depends:
hicolor-icon-theme
    default fallback theme for FreeDesktop.org icon themes
(…)
ubuntu-mono
    Ubuntu Mono Icon theme
ou adwaita-icon-theme-full
    default icon theme of GNOME

************************

A "below CD size ISO" isn't just about burning CD, about hard drive space, it's about a vast majority of potential users who have 2 GB max bandwidth, or even closer to the dialup connection; it is about saving electricity, about saving money and about being able to install Ubuntu on older machines where only a CD can be read!

It is about more than one issue. It is about "making it possible to get it", "making it easy to burn for old computers", "making it easier to download", making it economical, and more ecological.

Thanks for considering this a higher level of importance as a bug report.
