 I'm the one who has requested for this space.
Choosing this device space will disable all color space conversions in Vuescan

(like raw) but allows you to perform the light/heavy/medium filtering on it,
which
is not possible on the raw output.
The 'from' device space in P2P will still have to be your scanner profile (as
with the raw output)

This would be very nive to have, I agree, but according to Ed, not very
trivial to implement.
