Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: wine

I'm building a desktop entry loader application and had a problem
importing the wine .desktop entries.

Each file e.g. wine-notepad.desktop reference a wine.xpm which isn't
included in the package.

The offending excerpt is:

[Desktop Entry]
Icon=wine.xpm

Obviously icon theme authors aren't creating an icon specific to wine.
So I feel it's the package maintainer's responsibility to include this
image. Hopefully in a variety of sizes, perhaps in png format, or use an
svg instead. So wine.xpm isn't a great choice in the text file  - 'wine'
would suffice with the system searching for an xpm, png or svg. Not all
implementations support each of the 3 formats

The icon theme spec (http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec)
states that 3rd party apps should assume that a hicolor theme exists and
if only providing one size it should be 48x48.

At the very least then an icon at
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/wine.xpm would provide the necessary
feature.
