Spice is not in the distrib because its license is a free for non-commercial use,
and there are the usual U.S.A.export limitations on it.
This is a kind of license we try to avoid (if possible).
So, apart from the fact that IMHO, it's not a good idea to put a require on a
package that is not "required" in the strict sense, oregano cannot depend on
Spice because it would introduce an unresolved dependency in the distrib.
btw Spice is downloadable from other sites: get some pointers at
