Not your fault, but that's all crazy.

It would be nice to improve the comment in the Makefile so that the
longer form of the explanation is readily available, because it really
is irregular in pkgsrc to use bundled versions.

Ideally there's be a link to an upstream bug report at mupdf, which
would point to the merge request to lcms2.  If they really intend to use
a fork, that's more or less an upstream bug, especically if the fork
doesn't rename.

There is remarkably little easily findable about this but I did find

https://sourceforge.net/p/lcms/mailman/lcms-user/thread/fe77dd64-187f-ad27-5e74-1db97aada80a%40artifex.com/

and thus it really seems like lcms2.art should be a separate package --
there is basically no hope of resolution.
