Public bug reported:

Ghostscript 9.07 which was released this week uses LCMS2 and does not
work with the stocl LCMS2 as it comes with Ubuntu. It needs multi-
threading fixes in LCMS2.

The Ghostscript developers have created patches and applied them to the
LCMS2 copy which comes with Ghostscript and also made them available to
the upstream LCMS2 project:

https://github.com/robinwatts/Little-CMS/commits/threading_fixes

The patches are not yet included by upstream.

To update Ghostscript to 9.07 in Raring I would like to have the patches
applied to Raring's package of LCMS2.

The patches, relative to the upstream GIT trunk are attached.
