The icon cache use has been discussed several times with the Debian
GNOME Team before any work started on that for Ubuntu and there is no
mistake which has been done or to "avoid". That was clear from those
discussions than pkg-gnome was not wanting to use the current cache
implementation and that people are busy enough to not work on that at
the moment. The Ubuntu Desktop Team on the other side wanted to get the
icon cache used, has no problem with the current implementation and was
fine rebuilding the packages installing an icon to update the cache.
There was no point then for the Ubuntu team to send you patches for
something that the Debian desktop people don't want to use nor to talk
again about a topic we debated several times already, we decided to do
the work to show how it works for Ubuntu and then to send the patches to
Debian with some feedback and let you make your own decision from there
