+- do not depend on gnome-icon-theme:
+  * the network-wired icon is meanwhile available in
+    faenza, gnome, mate, nimbus oxygen and tango icon theme
+  * the dependency causes avahi depending on gtk3, which
+    causes a build loop with gtk2
+  * the avahi-desktop.patch causes these desktop files to
+    be only shown in GTK based desktops, which have any of
+    those icon themes available
