The two problems are distro acceptance and multiple licences making
mixing impossible.  If Debian is fine with it and no other distro has
issues that could well be fine.  Then we'd need a form of works to
ensure it was only used on material which was unlikely to have any
need to be mixed with other material, e.g. standalone images which are
not icons (and certainly not code).
