On a server like that, you won't have cups installed, so nothing will be 
pulling in colord.  Whereas if you _do_ have cups installed, because 
it's a print server, then you might like very much for the colors in the 
image on the screen to match the colors deposited on the paper.

On an XO all colord pulls over baseline Gnome is sane-backends-libs and 
lcms2, and even that's guessing, I'd be a little surprised if those 
didn't end up in the image already.  I guess there's an argument to be 
had over whether that 1M of disk space is really worth spending on 
enabling color-accurate image editing on an XO, but that's really for 
OLPC to decide for their image.
