Thanks, Shengjing Zhu, for suggesting to solve this in lintian.
Thanks, Bastien, for offering to help do that.
I am not convinced, however, that this issue is a bug in lintian:
The testcase you ask for is the actual files in the icc-profiles source
package which already is already correctly identified by lintian. I.e.
issue is not that some different files get misdetected but instead that
lintian _correctly_ identifies the files in this non-free package and
_correctly_ classifies those as unsuitable in main, but ftpmaster then
using that identification and classification as reason for rejecting an
upload of the non-free package.
