This requires packaging of libcolorblind which doesn't seem to build cleanly for me yet (http://people.debian.org/~ruoso/libcolorblind-0.0.0.tgz), libcolorblind also needs promotion to main and a Main Inclusion Report).

Somebody should specify how the UI should be changed or how gnome-mag should make use of libcolorblind. Building it with it does not provide any benefit for the user yet.

This is either 'Fix Released' or 'Rejected' now. Thanks for building with libcolorblind (so I'm marking it fixed :) ). The spec has been deferred so we won't try to implement the UI. We are taking a new approach in Feisty+1 with Beryl (and have a GSoC project lined up for that).
