Note that we don't have Ubuntu precies as our default repo so the command
doesn't do the same as for you. You mean dget
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/lcms2/lcms2_2.2+git20110628-2ubuntu3.dsc
This is important because the sid version doesn't have this problem.

Wrong.
The changes are caused by the clean target and I get the same message just
by running dpkg-buildpackage in the unpacked source (even *before*
building).

It never said the patches are problem.
The problem is Makefile files that are regenerated by configure called in
the clean target.
That these files are patched by debian/patches/debian-changes-* is another
problem, caused by this one.

This problem was reported in September as #643177 and fixed in the Debian
package version 2.2+git20110628-2.1 in March.
