Well, it's trivially easy for me to extract the variables into a file, 
e.g., /etc/X11/icon-list, and then dot it in the script.

Possible, sure, but probably too much work.  Instead, how about having 
the preremove script simply remove all the icons it created?  Then the 
new one would create a new set of icons and all would be well!

Also, it would be pretty easy to add the remove functionality.  In fact, 
here's another version!  The icon-list file goes in /etc/X11.  If you 
add a "-d" to the command, it purges only the icons it created, AND any 
empty directories under there.

It's the least I can do.
