Thank you for the review, Mr. Courtès.

Attached are the updated patches.

Yes, sir. It seems that breeze-assets is licensed under GPL2 only (I
couldn't find "or any later version" in their license file:
https://github.com/KDE/breeze/blob/master/COPYING

I am also concerned regarding the naming of the `breeze` package. I wonder
if that is a good name. But I can't quite think of any other name.
`kde-breeze`? `breeze-style`? I don't know... I worry that this name (if it
is not the most convenient) might get stuck once it is merged and other
packages start to build on top of it. I don't know.
