While running 'configure' I see these lines in its screen output:

    157 checking lcms/lcms.h usability... no
    158 checking lcms/lcms.h presence... no
    159 checking for lcms/lcms.h... no
.

According to http://sourceforge.net/projects/lcms/files/ at the moment
the latest tarball is lcms2-2.0a.tar.gz and its header files (when
installed) are:

"
sergei@amdam2:~/junk> ls -ltr /mnt/sdb8/sergei/AFSWD_debug/install/lcms-2.0/include/
total 117
-rw-r--r-- 1 qemu users 24622 2010-07-05 03:59 lcms2_plugin.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 qemu users 91214 2010-07-05 03:59 lcms2.h
sergei@amdam2:~/junk> 
".

I.e. configure should check for version 2.0 or later and check existence
of 'lcms2.h' rather than 'lcms.h' file.

As far as I could tell, no distribution carries lcms2 in a primary
package repository, although Fedora seems to have it in updates-
candidate and Gentoo carries an ebuild marked as testing.

I have no idea and I don't care. I build and install everything I need
in the directories I want, which are not system directories. From time
to time I upgrade packages versions.

So, less than a month ago I discovered the new lcms version and
upgraded.

Maybe.

But then I see a chicken-egg problem. A distro can't start supporting
'lcms2' because 'wine' doesn't support it and 'wine' won't support
'lcms2' because no distro includes it.

Not really. Distributions don't care what version of packages Wine supports.
Besides, there are many other projects that use lcms.

lcms2 can be installed alongside lcms1 exactly for this reason.

I know. And my environment can cope with it. Other packages which use
'lcms' silently accepted 'lcms2', so other than for 'wine' I have no
need to keep both versions.

Probably in half year the issue will become relevant for 'wine'.

Work in progress, but not sure when I'll pick it up, so leaving here for
now in case someone else wants to finish it.

It seems this is no longer a mere enhancement request and needs some
escalation in priority - liblcms1 is deprecated upstream, not receiving
fixes, and is being slated for removal from distributions.  See, for

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.
