It has a 48x48 icon. I know an SVG would be ideal, but is 48x48 not big enough for normal use?

looks a bit blocky in the unity dash which I think is scaling it up to 64px, it is fine in the launcher at default size (which is 48px)

[Alan Bell (alanbell)]

also the unity alt-tab switcher scales things up to crazy big sizes, so an SVG would indeed be ideal for that.

Marking this bug triaged as it's been upstreamed to Debian.

Debian just fixed this in 1.6.5-2 (I expect launchpad will pick up the change in the DBTS shortly). Do we need a sync request or something now? It's only doc changes and the new icon.

Seems like a sync request is needed (I have no idea how to do it), or I/someone could create a branch with all the changes in it.

[Evan Huus (eapache)]

Filed sync request as bug #960146.

The new wireshark has been synced, and is in Precise.
