Exactly. The method I would use here (though I would actualy avoid doing it
here at all, if I had a choice) is to run 10% patches in each channel (plus 5
and 95) and measure them with the densitometer, or spectro in densitometer
mode, and read the 100% patch in each bar as, well, 100%... then adjust the
others to be 95, 90, 80 etc... by adjusting the curves (or ideally the
numbers in the data window attached to the curves, if this is offered) to
liniarize the results. I still claim that building such a liniarization
first, instead of beating your ICC profle with it, would be preferable.

This is precisely the method I use, so I can't object to you doing the same...
