just to clarify:
- we depend on the humanity-icon-theme. There are many icon themes that do not 
ship all the category (no longer relevant) and subcategory (still required) 
icons. This leads to empty / generic icons being displayed if 
humanity-icon-theme is not installed - this being a suboptimal experience -, 
and we have had bug reports about this. It is perhaps unfortunate that this 
requires a dependency on humanity-icon-theme, but I think it's justifiable.
- the humanity icon theme is added last, this means that the current icon theme 
(this can also be the high contrast icon theme) gets the first opportunity to 
supply all the icons, the humanity icon theme is used solely as a fallback.
- everything in softwarecenter/ui/qml was experimental. If I recall correctly 
at the time when that was written it was not known how  to (or perhaps not even 
possible to) load icons from the icon theme or something of the likes.
