Hello Adam,
thank you for taking care of the situation.

I agree that backintime should not depend on a gnome-specific package.
Having a virtual package would fix that. Adding the virtual package to
the other (including KDE) freedesktop compliant icon themes are changes
to
less than 26 packages[1].
I am asking just for my learning. I don't understand that solution.
There will be a virtual package (e.g. "standard-icons") with the meaning
that
having that installed all free desktop org naming specs icon are
available, no
matter which theme is installed?
So backintime-qt would depend on that?
And the specific task-XYZdesktop-install packages would somehow define
which specific theme to install to fullfill the virutal package?
Sounds like a technical solution.
Why not something more political, no matter that it would take some more
time.
Adding a policy rule that all desktops need to provide the standard
icons.
