Current evaluation

Allow specifying desktop icon paths relative to the built snap directory in snapcraft.yaml instead of the source tree, supporting build-time downloaded assets. Open, inactive for over three years, zero comments; requires triage.

Suggested action: close stale

Reason: The issue is a feature request that has been inactive for over 3 years with no maintainer engagement or community interest. Given the lack of traction and the age of the issue, it is considered stale and irrelevant to the current project direction.

Staleness: 95 Complexity: 30 Confidence: 85 Support Request: 10

Issue body

Given many snaps download files at build time, the icon might not be available in the source tree. The `icon` field in snapcraft.yaml should have a way to specify a path to a file in the snap itself, instead of the source tree.
