colord from git not buildable on ubuntu 13.04/Debian Sid

[Thomas Bechtold <thomasbechtold jpberlin de>]

Hi,

I tried to build colord with jhbuild on Ubuntu 13.04 and got the
following error:

...
checking for /usr/share/color/icc/sRGB.icc... yes
checking for /usr/share/color/icc/ProPhotoRGB.icc... no
checking for /usr/share/color/icc/AdobeRGB1998.icc... no
configure: error: shared-color-profiles or a compatible profile set is
required


The files ProPhotoRGB.icc and AdobeRGB1998.icc are not available in
Ubuntu (and Debian).
On both distributions, there's a file with the name
/usr/share/color/icc/compatibleWithAdobeRGB1998.icc . See [1] and [2].
On Ubuntu is another package with more profiles available (see [3]) but
without the needed files.

Are the profiles really needed by colord?

TIA,

Tom
