Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-color-manager

Availability: Currently available in Universe, building on all currently
supported architectures, see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-
color-manager

Rationale: In Oneiric we want to introduce ICC-based color management on
the operating system level, using the same architecture as Fedora does.
gnome-color-manager is part of this architecture. Therefore we need it
in Main. This MIR is a work item of the following Blueprint:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-icc-color-
management

According to the Blueprint additional demand on CD space for the whole
introduction of color management is around 300K only.

Security: No security vulnerabilities known at CVE and Secunia, no SUID
components, no daemons, has /usr/sbin/gcm-install-system-wide executable
which seems to install ICC profiles for availability in the whole
system.

Quality assurance: Installs without debconf questions (package has no
maintainer scripts at all), after installation color management can be
configured via "System" -> "Preferences" -> "Color Profiles". The
package is maintained upstream as new releases occur regularly and they
get packaged for Ubuntu by Robert Ancell who works for Canonical (see
debian/changelog).

UI standards: Seem to be fulfilled, the package contains the usual
translation files and it appears in the menus with "System" ->
"Preferences" -> "Color Profiles", so the .desktop file must be there.

Dependencies: Argyll is recommended by gnome-color-manager and so it
should also get promoted to Main. Argyll is the software for supporting
color calibration hardware which is an important part of color
management.

Maintenance: See "Quality assurance".
