Hi,

After thinking about xpi-repack, this ICC_PROFILE may be another one to
solve nicely for many people to clean upstream as easy as possible.
debian/uupdate approach is not easy to use.

Here is my memo:

As for the action to take, 
 https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/05/msg00812.html
 https://github.com/danwent/Perspectives/pull/120
These are good guide.

As I checked my packages
$ find . -regextype posix-extended -iregex '.*\.(jpg|png)' -exec sh -c 'identify -verbose "$0" | grep -i copyright && echo "$0"' {} \; 2>/dev/null

$ 

So not all ICC profile data are bad :-)

I wonder if we can add features like Files-Excluded ...
Files-ICC-Removed:
Files-ICC-Removed-<component>:

But this may be over-complication and sticking with adding a feature to
run a packaged script as originally proposed.

At any rate, if --report is used, this part of script is not run.
So security concern can be addressed for cases where uscan are run by
the server environment.

As for the copyright checker as presented with "find ..." in the above,
adding this to the debmake package may be more helpful.

Osamu
