Public bug reported:

Currently, MyApps and CPI are using the "placeholder-app-icon.png" from
the Suru theme, which is a basic greyscale image, including a version of
the Ubuntu logo. Showing this logo as the app icon for apps which have
no icon, implies they are officially supported apps by Ubuntu, and
dilutes the brand and trademark, when they are not actually such apps,
particularly when they have no function directly linked to any part of
Ubuntu.

Instead, a better representation would be a generic representation of an
app window or similar.
