Yes it depends i guess. The thing is that like /usr theres really all kinds of things below  ~/.local, like bin, lib, doc etc (pip for example installs to ~/.local/{bin,lib}).
So I would surely at least consider that beforehand

ls -aZ ~/.local/
wheel.id:wheel.role:users.generic_home_data.home_data_file:s0 .            wheel.id:wheel.role:users.home_libraries.home_file:s0 lib
                   wheel.id:wheel.role:users.home_dir.file:s0 ..   wheel.id:wheel.role:users.generic_home_data.home_data_file:s0 share
         wheel.id:wheel.role:users.home_commands.home_file:s0 bin

There's also other gotchas, take for example your personal libvirt pool in ~/.local, this content may potentially also be need to be accessible by the qemu user.

I guess what i am saying is that not everything below /usr is always just "data"

I dont have enough experience with colord to give advice, looking at my policy there's also a colord --user instance, it seems also heavily integrated with gnome-settings-daemon.

I think this patch is probably alright as is for now (maybe its best to just ignore confined users in this stage) as for further partitioning ~/.local, i suppose we can alway's revisit these changes later as this only applies to ~/.local/share/icc anyway.

If this change is one of the few controversial changes that are needed to make gnome work on debian with unconfined, then i think it might be worth it to just accept this and make a note about it to address this properly when someone wants to work on the confined support for this aspect.
