I don't think we should rename. Kill the package instead. The software
is unmaintained upstream and probably several security issues exist.
Most packages that still depend on lcms1 can be changed to lcms2 without
patches. For packages that need patches, Debian has those and otherwise
we should just remove the software together with lcms1.
