For going to do this work but liblcms2 is really a shame about ABI/API
compatibilty. See:

http://upstream-tracker.org/versions/lcms.html

So be prepared to ask for a so dump.
Thanks for raising attention to this.

@Oleksandr: Please strongly consider using a symbols file to a) fail
when symbols are removed and b) have consumers of this library (like
ghostscript and krita) automagically handle symbols added.

...instead of leaving it to downstream FTBFS to reveal breakage really
belonging in liblcms.

Hi Jonas,

I'll definitely add a symbols file before the next upload of 2.5. Thanks a lot for exploring the compatibility issues.

I already made a functional lcms2-2.5 package that has been used to build other packages, but I still have to apply the patches for security advisories and generally polish the package up to the debian/main standards.

Regards,

Alex
