1. I agree 100% that emacs22.png files should go...

2. My proposal about rename from emacs.png to emacs24.png was optional.
You are right that it's not Emacs thing to package. So, it's ok for me 
to keep them as emacs.png

3. Speaking about --program-transform-name - that's also another bug.

I'm using this option and --program-suffix to package Emacs 24 for 
Debian/Ubuntu.
I deploy emacs-24.2.x binary as just emacs24 and other binaries as for 
example: emacsclient.emacs24

And bug is that also man pages should follow these options. Now I need 
to rename emacs.1 to emacs24.1 and emacsclient.1 to 
emacsclient.emacs24.1 to make Lintian happy.
