NACK.

Martin is right, the gtk-icon-cache class uses -t when updating the caches:

       --ignore-theme-index, -t
           Don't check for the existence of 'index.theme' in the icon theme
           directory. Without this option, gtk-update-icon-cache refuses to
           create an icon cache in a directory which does not appear to be the
           toplevel directory of an icon theme.

If someone is not using gtk-icon-cache.bbclass they either should, or
have a good reason and also use -t.
