[KEXI] [Bug 446731] Kexi depends on breeze-icons.rcc, but shouldn't

--- Comment #4 from Jarosław Staniek <staniek at kde.org> ---
Thanks for the bigger picture Wolfgang. IIRC back when we lacked the build-time
check we had situations when KEXI was distributed without the dependency. Would
you see a universal replacement technique to ensure declared run time
dependencies are met? (other than mention in README.PACKAGERS that depends on
human nature)

First thing we added was the runtime check. Before that missing icons was
confusing to the user. Not it is confusing too, but at least we can warn in a
message that the KEXI software isn't 100% properly distributed.

> Maybe just use the standard icons if the .rcc is not available on build time?

That is the central issue. Standard icons do not include icons that KEXI
requires. So the software looks random and unfinished.
That's the cost of centralization (having a central icon project in KDE while
we can't control "central" desktop environment).
