That's not published in quantal on myapps, but is in extras, so apps.u.c
doesn't import any extra data. You can see the correct icon using the
precise url:

https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/precise/unity-lens-vm/

Publishing the app for quantal in myapps will allow apps.u.c to import the
extra data for quantal also.

https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/cuckoo/

ditto - the precise version has the extra data, quantal doesn't as it's not
published in myapps.

I actually see the reverse for this one - it's published in myapps for
quantal, and so has the extra data, but if I look at the precise version
it's missing it (and checking sca [1] shows it's not currently published in
precise).

So currently you'll need to publish the app in devportal for all the
distroseries for which the extra information should be present (ie. all the
series for which it is published in extras). We could and probably should
treat apps imported from sca as special in this regard, so that if an app
is imported from sca, the extra resources (icons/screenshots etc) will be
used by default if there are non present from the apt-cache or
app-install-data. I'll leave that for achuni to decide.

Hope that helps!
