I believe we shouldn't succomb to the needs of one distribution. Plus they can 
patch the icon out on package level if really needed/wanted.

Their terms say "incorporating" which according to dictionary means "Take in 
(something) as part of a whole; include.", which is what we're doing imho - 
including a library to enable communication with their API. Still, I think 
putting a link in the dialog is not that much.
