Bug description:
  Could you please remove old libgtk2-perl from Recommends and drop the
  dependency against gnome-icon-theme?

  libgtk2-perl and gnome-icon-theme is deprecated for gtk3 and replaced by adwaita-icon-theme.  
  If I'm not wrong, gdebi only uses one icon from gnome-icon-theme, gnome-mime-application-x-deb, this icon is not available in adwaita-icon-theme. BUT, can be replaced by the package-x-generic (which is also available in other icon themes). On my machine this is the same icon as for the .deb and .udeb files. An explicit dependency against adwaita-icon-theme should probably be avoided as libgtk3 will already pull it.
