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.
