For specifications we have:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/OpenIcc#Specifications and
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/OpenIcc#Proposals

These common specifications are the main integration points for different 
implementations.

Specific for Ubuntu let me suggest you to look into CompICC [5]. This 
Compiz plugin based desktop colour server introduces real time ICC colour 
correction for displaying. It is the only open source implementation for 
ICC colour correction in a compositing manager. All other open source 
display solutions are based on pure calibration. A proper calibration 
state is a pre condition for correct ICC colour correction.

I am not very familiar with Ubuntu conventions and would be happy if you 
could add the above annotations to the wiki.
