This theme took "LGPL or CC-something" licensed icons (Oxygen) and *relicensed*
the derived work as GPL.

I've been unable to find where the original author gives permission to this
relicensing, and AFAIK derived works should have been either LGPL or the
CC-something, so this is not clear to me to be free software.

You can see more details of Debian removals on the script which cleans the
tarball up:

And also in the full copyright file:
