Isn't that just an issue with the CUPS Raster format?

The intended use of colord in the CUPS filter chain is to modify
pstoraster so that it asks colord which ICC filename ghostscript should
be told to use.

All colord is doing is delaying the association between a set of print
options and an ICC file so that the user can override whatever comes
pre-set in the PPD file.
