Package: xserver-xspice
Version: 0.0.17-2+b1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

Running Xspice fails with an error indicating that the spiceqxl driver is 
missing.

To test this, do the following:

$ sudo cp /usr/share/doc/xserver-xspice/spiceqxl.xorg.conf.example 
/etc/X11/spiceqxl.xorg.conf
$ Xspice --disable-ticketing --port 5903 :3.0

In the Xorg.3.0.log file you will find:

[452982.994] (II) LoadModule: "spiceqxl"
[452982.994] (WW) Warning, couldn't open module spiceqxl
[452982.994] (II) UnloadModule: "spiceqxl"
[452982.994] (II) Unloading spiceqxl
[452982.994] (EE) Failed to load module "spiceqxl" (module does not exist, 0)

In Debian 7.0 the spiceqxl driver used to be shipped as part of the 
xserver-xorg-video-qxl package which was probably wrong as this driver seems to 
only be needed for Xspice. But in Debian Testing no package ships this file 
which is worse.

Compiling the driver by hand and placing it in 
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/spiceqxl_drv.so fixes this and makes Xspice 
usable.

It would also be nice if copying spiceqxl.xorg.conf.example into place manually 
was not necessary. After all no such step is needed to use vncserver.
