[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#691784: [virt-manager] make spice optional (on !linux-{i386, amd64})

[Christoph Egger]

Package: virt-manager
Version: 0.9.1-4
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

  I have virt-manager working here perfectly fine on kfreebsd-amd64
after removing the hard dependency on python-spice-client-gtk which is
uninstallable on architecutres other than linux-{amd64,i386}. Would be
cool to relax the dependency to a Recommends (on !linux) so the
package becomes installable without local hacks (and still gets spice
if it becomes available).

Regards

    Christoph
