Re: New Debian packaging effort

[Ben Pfaff]

I agree that the new .svg looks better at 48x48.

The new .svg isn't distributed by "make dist".

bojo42: Let's continue to use ImageMagick in the packaging, but
change it from converting the .png to converting the .svg that is
now included.  The results are nicer.

Thanks,

Ben.
