I have read both of those pages sometime last week.  Neither of them say 
that there are two types of icc files that are necassary for scribus to 
allow you to turn on color management features.  In fact, the monitor 
profiling page makes it seem like you can get the features activated 
only from tools in the lprof package, which doesn't seem to be true.

"Then, copy the profile to the Scribus profiles directory from a console 
as root: # cp ./d650023.icm /usr/local/lib/scribus/profiles/ This is the 
default directory, your might be different if you installed from a package.

Now Scribus can use this profile for more accurately managing screen 
previews. Start or restart Scribus and go Edit > Preferences > Color 
Management. Enable color management and select the monitor profile as below"


When I added one of the Adobe CMYK profiles to my profile directory, 
everything worked as expected.
