A packager could target a single distro and version, like you seem
to do. A packager could also target multiple versions of the same
distro (like Ivan does) and a packager could target multiple versions
of multiple distro's and OS'es, like CodeWeavers seems to do.

No, I'm not requiring or forcing users to upgrade. I'm asking packagers
(specifically those that target multiple distro's/OS'es or versions with
a single package) to build with the most recent headers. Because that
will result in the most functional Wine if recent lcms is available on
a users' system.
If lcms is not available Wine will degrade gracefully. If such a package
was built with old headers users that actually have a recent lcms would
not profit from it. See my point?

Don't they automatically fetch the latest version in that case? Or is
the ports collection versioned and tied to the FreeBSD main version?
