Greetings,

hereby I declare my intention to salvage the "lcms2" package using the
procedure described in the Developer's Reference (5.12) and the Debian
Wiki <https://wiki.debian.org/PackageSalvaging>.

Criteria are met as follows:

* The package is in clear need of some love and care:
  * There are three upstream releases missing (2.12, 2.13, 2.13.1), cf.
    <https://bugs.debian.org/1007752>, filed 16 Mar 2022.
  * There is work needed from a quality-assurance perspective as the
    packaging uses outdated / deprecated standards, cf.
    <https://lintian.debian.org/sources/lcms2>

    AND

* An upload is needed to fix this.

    AND

* At least one to the following applies (non-applicable omitted):
  * There is no visible activity regarding the package for six months.
    Attempting to elicit a maintainer response failed, cf.
    <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1007752#19> ff.

My objective is to have this package in Debian, and in good shape. So
if you (maintainer) want to resume taking care of it, please do. And in
case you object or already have other plans, just let me know.

I am well aware that filing this ITS is a stretch as the criteria are
hardly met. I'm filing it nonetheless already due to demand for an
updated package for matching upstream requirements. Given these
circumstances I plan to wait a bit longer with the ITS waiting phase.

Kind regards,
Flo
