All:

Having looked at a number of Debian packages to see how they work, I
have noticed that icons can be supplied in different sizes, and
different formats.  

The application (amsynth) supplies two icons in its Debian package,
putting them in the "/usr/share/pixmaps" folder:

amsynth.png            (which is a more typical size, but is still
unusual, in being 48 x 49 pixels)

        and

amsynth.xpm            (which is much bigger (108 x 105 pixels) than any
of the other icons in that folder)

>From your screenshot, the second icon (the '.xpm') is actually used.  

According to the gimp graphics editor, this icon is 108 pixels wide, by
105 pixels high.  Typically, an icon is 32 x 32 pixels, or 16 x 16
pixels.  This one (as supplied in its Debian package) is huge.
