No, the scanin and colprof treats camera data exactly as "device data" without 
any intermediate conversions - as they is. The scanin doesn't do any "color" 
calculation. It just reads the target shot to record the patches device data.
As for colprof - it calculates the color space of a device (camera) itself.
