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".
Robert, please check this MIR and also add your comments, as you are probably more knowledgeable about gnome-color-manager than me, especially if the MIR team has additional question.
