We use this in RPP, passing to colprof synthetic white and black, however we 
extrapolate to supply more realistic values of deviation.

However this alone is not enough if you are profiling for gamma 1 source data 
and have 2/3 of a stop underexposure.

You may also want to look at the gamut plot of your profiles, you may be up to 
an unpleasant surprise.
