Hello,

Those were indeed the icons I was referring to.

It appears that in the latest experimental version of the 
adwaita-icon-theme package, the legacy icons have been removed. 
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1453258/accepted-adwaita-icon-theme-440-1-source-into-experimental/

I haven't tested this version, but if the message is to be believed, 
this is no longer an issue.
