Thing is that in debian packages you cannot have the same files in
different packages.
So, if we got emacs22 package - it has to contain icons renamed to
emacs22.png
For emacs23 - icons renamed to emacs23.png
And then debian can use it's alternatives system to choose which one
should act as emacs.png (symlinks).
True mess begins when upstream source named emacs23 still contains icons
like emacs22.png. At this situation maintainer has to fix debian/rules
or patch makefiles to avoid conflicts. This is time consuming and
unnecessary.
There is no reason to keep outdated icons in current release in my opinion.
emacs22.png files should end life in emacs22.tar.
