[Alex Valavanis]

Source changes are needed for Inkscape for build to succeed with lcms2,
so I have forwarded this upstream

Bug description:
  Many packages in Ubuntu use the liblcms1 library (source package
  lcms). This library is discontinued upstream and replaced by liblcms2.
  Due to this bugs in liblcms1 are not fixed any more upstream and
  important improvements in color reproduction and safety against
  crashes are not done. Therefore we should remove lcms1 and migrate all
  programs using it to lcms2.
