This is already reported as #459261, blocked by this bug.  Its severity
is wishlist, though.

The packages installed on my machine which call dh_icons (just postinst)
and thus call gtk-update-icon-cache if present:

gimp-data.postinst:# Automatically added by dh_icons
glipper.postinst:# Automatically added by dh_icons
gthumb-data.postinst:# Automatically added by dh_icons
libdjvulibre15.postinst:# Automatically added by dh_icons
openoffice.org-common.postinst:# Automatically added by dh_icons
sauerbraten.postinst:# Automatically added by dh_icons
vinagre.postinst:# Automatically added by dh_icons

But this caching problem shows me the reason of missing icons in the
menu, too...  and when it "fixed" itself...

Kind regards,
Philipp Kern
