This is correct.

Yeah, that makes sense.  colord would really like at least a base set of
colour spaces available, so it'd be good to get a set of fully-free
profiles into Debian proper.

There seem to some profiles in s-c-p that aren't in icc-profiles; if
they're useful we should pull them over.

Also, if I understand it correctly, all the profiles from
shared-color-profiles have had cd-fix-profiles (from colord) run over
them to embed a profile ID to make startup faster.

How do you want to do this?

Thanks,
Chris
