If you manage to copy them while building the package ... even better. Than 
you can simply remove the propset again and you're set. But I thought I heard 
that it might be difficult to do so. This was the reason I started with this 
solution.
You might see it as an interim solution until someone changes the build 
process of the plugins.
In the long term it might be possible to have mappaint first look 
into /usr/share/map-icons/... if it find icons there and only if not, look in 
the local (or whatever) directory.

Yes
