--- Comment #19 from David Edmundson <kde at davidedmundson.co.uk> ---
So lets keep this on track.

>From our perspective our options are:

1) Copy the same binary files across n repositories , updating all references
of KIcon() to load the relevant icon for that application. This would make
updating very difficult.

2) Put the icons in a common place that we _know_ will be installed at run
time.

It should be obvious why we are choosing option 2.

When (from source) you install common internals you also install the data
folder which ships these icons. We know everything else depends on
common-internals. If you as packagers split it, you need to enforce that
behaviour still remains.

It is a false positive, you are checking for something that is needed at run
time, at compile time. It can't ever be wrong on a user's machine without a
packaging error.

Note that not having the data folder from ktp-common-internals at run time
would also mean that notifications fail to work.

I don't want to discuss this any further.
