Yes except that, if Scribus, the Gimp (2.4) and KOffice all try to install 
Adobe.icm in /usr/share/color/icc/ it will be a problem for packagers, unless 
there is a common package for profiles, so until that happen we will keep 
shipping Adobe.icm and copy it in our own place.

Well thanksfully, the profile loader is clever enought to accept only one 
profile with one given name, So even if there are a thousand Adobe.icm file 
on an user computer, it will be displayed only once in KOffice.
