Yaru: About Icon-theme Specification

Expected Behavior

At the same pixel size, different types should not have the same name.

Description and Screenshots

Hi! I've realized a question about icon-theme during my development process: Shouldn't there be icons with the same name under different types of folders of the same pixel size?
Although the index.theme file controls the order in which the application looks for icons, I don't think it makes sense to have icons with the same name under different types of folders of the same pixel size.
Since the control of the index.theme file can make some images meaningless if there are icons with the same name, I did a check of yaru's icon-theme and found some icons with the same name at the same pixel size and different types.

as follows.

  • aptdaemon-download.png in apps/status
    aptdaemon-download

  • text-x-log.png in apps/mimetypes
    text-x-log png

  • preferences-system-symbolic.svg in apps/categories
    preferences-system-symbolic

  • gnome-control-center-symbolic.svg in apps/categories
    gnome-control-center-symbolic

  • preferences-desktop-keyboard-symbolic.svg in apps/devices
    preferences-desktop-keyboard-symbolic

  • video-x-generic-symbolic.svg in places/mimtypes
    video-x-generic-symbolic

  • preferences-ubuntu-panel-symbolic.svg in apps/categories
    preferences-ubuntu-panel-symbolic

Looking forward to hearing from you, thanks!
