glad to know someone uses these packages.:-)

The immediate solution is to use dpkg --force-overwrite   overwriting
is OK it just means
your icon will be the new gambas3 icon even for gambas2 files.

longer term I'm not sure. The gambas3 icon file can't go anywhere else
or have any other name
as it is a debian standard.
I'll research the options.
