So, why can't you install default-jre or gnome-icon-theme on Sid? Those are metapackages, so you'll have to dig even deeper. If it's not PEBKAC, then it's just normal churn in Sid, something that should come as no surprise.

Wine enables one to use certain—unless there are exceptions where the source code is available—binary-only Windows programs (with the security issues that these entail) so why not just use dual boot Windows for Microsoft-style fun and games?

No non-free or contrib packages installed on debian!  rms would be proud.
