Bug Description

org.gnome.Software and ubuntu software use the same icon

This causes confusion for users that choose to install gnome-software for flatpak support.

First reported here https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/issues/2144#issuecomment-620092334

Steps to reproduce:
1. install org.gnome.Software
2. open both org.gnome.Software and Ubuntu Software, or even just search for "software" in gnome-shell
3. The icons of both applications are shown, and they are the same

The fix is to allow org.gnome.Software to use its upstream icon, removing a Yaru symlink between gnome-software app name and Yaru's icon. The system is expected to automatically use the application provided icon if the selected icon set does not provide one, so no regression is expected.

Hello Carlo, or anyone else affected,

Accepted yaru-theme into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/yaru-theme/20.04.7 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

I already had the .deb and snap versions of "Software" installed.
I searched for 'Software' and verified that the icons for Software and Ubuntu Software were the same as per the bug report.
I enabled -proposed and updated the yaru packages
I searched for 'Software' again and saw that the icons are now different as the fix intended.
So marking as verified.
