Bug Description
Impact
=======
libgtk-3-common depends on adwaita-icon-theme (>= ${gnome:Version}). For xenial, this is adwaita-icon-theme >= 3.18.
This causes 2 problems. One is that we have to remember to upload a new version of adwaita-icon-theme before we upload a new version of GTK3. Otherwise, the new version of adwaita-icon-theme becomes unbuildable because adwaita-icon-theme depends on GTK3 to build but GTK3 is uninstallable because the dependency can't be satisfied yet. This can be worked around (it happened this week with 3.20 in yakkety) but it's not good.
The other is that Lubuntu doesn't want to install adwaita-icon-theme but instead install lubuntu-icon-theme as a replacement by setting Provides: adwaita-icon-theme. According to Debian policy, that doesn't work if something has a versioned dependency on the provided package.

The versioned dependency was removed in Debian svn:

Test case
=========
Since the xenial daily images use -proposed, check here whether adwaita-icon-theme is installed a day or two after the gtk update has been pushed to xenial-proposed:

Regression potential
=======
If in fact, lubuntu-icon-theme does not include some of the icons in adwaita-icon-theme, there will be missing icons in apps that try to use those icons.

[ Jeremy Bicha ]
* Team upload
* New upstream release
* debian/control.in:
- Drop unnecessary version number from dependency on adwaita-icon-theme
* debian/
- Dropped, applied in new version
[ Simon McVittie ]
* Another new upstream release
* Explicitly build-depend on docbook-xsl, libxml2-utils and xsltproc
to be able to generate man pages from their source code. Move docbook-xml
to Build-Depends since the man pages are in an Architecture: any package.
* Drop Build-Depends-Indep on docbook-utils, the old SGML toolchain,
which is currently uninstallable (#834616) and does not appear to be
needed for anything
