[Till Kamppeter <885324@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

pitti, they talk about only 5-10 % performance loss in Poppler, but for
getting a much less crashing, more reliable, and maintained CM library,
I would accept this performance loss. So I think I should add Otani-
san's patch for further testing to Precise's package of Poppler.

Otani-san, thank you very much for the patch. I will try it out on
Ubuntu's Poppler. 5-10 % performance loss is not much for the gain of
stability and reliability. It should get applied.

Albert, I also highly recommend to apply this patch upstream, as using a
more stable, maintained library is much more important then having 5-10
% better performance.

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.
