[Bug 140012] Re: package gwenrename None [modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/gwenrename.list] failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/gwenview.png', which is also in package gwenview

[Cesare Tirabassi]

I believe this is a bug in the upstream "makefiles", since there are two
targets which are installing icons:

install-data-local
install-kde-icons

While the first installs the correct icons, the second doesn't; you can see in the binary package that both icons are installed.
So, while your patch may work, I believe a more complete solution would be to override the call to the incorrect target.
Patching out install-kde-icons as a prerequisite for install-data-am most probably will do that, but I think there should be a better way to instruct make about it.
Failing that personally I think it makes more sense to modify debian/rules removing from there the incorrect icons more than patching the Makefile.in file.
