That brings me to a thought.

The "original source" of the logo is an SVG file.
 From that SVG we "generate" some png or ico files used as icons to 
display in a file manager or the application GUI.

Might it be a way that the author of the original source (SVG) logo give 
the project or persons (as members of the project) the exclusive right 
to use and modify that SVG file, create derived works (png/ico files) 
from it and publish them under our own license?
The SVG file does not need to be part of the public (and licensed) 
repository.
We could put only the png/ico files into the repo and add a licence to 
that files. The question keeps: What licence to choose then (that is 
compatible to GNU/Linux Debian)?

It seems to me, without a trademark, we can not control for someone 
reusing the logo in a different context. We have to accept that this can 
happen.
