Note that you cannot just strip colour profiles from image containers.

Doing so changes the output.

You'd have to replace the profile with a Free equivilent.  Or, if no
free equivilent is available, edit the image to match a Free profile.

Such changes should be documented in the package's README.Debian,
and probably in the image's metadata.
