Bug#695818: gnome-boxes: Can't create VM from a physical CD

Package: gnome-boxes
Version: 3.4.3+dfsg-1
Severity: serious

1. Insert an operating system install CD into your computer
2. Open Boxes and click New
3. Click Continue and then try to select the install CD

What happens
- It's not really possible to select the physical CD

What should happen
- The CD should show up as an option above "Enter URL" or "Select a file"

This was reported at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/689938 and can be
fixed by simply having gnome-boxes depend on libosinfo-bin.

Personally, I think it's an RC bug if a VM app can't install a VM from
a physical CD so I'm marking this serious.

Thanks,
Jeremy
