Public bug reported:

Virt-viewer 0.5.4-1 for Raring doesn't support the SPICE protocol.

Trying to connect to a SPICE'd VM results in 'Unknown graphic type for
the guest'.

$ ldd /usr/bin/virt-viewer | grep spice
$


After adding SPICE support and recompiling the package, I can successfully 
connect to a SPICE'd VM and:

$ ldd ./virt-viewer | grep spice
        libspice-client-gtk-3.0.so.4 => 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libspice-client-gtk-3.0.so.4 (0x00007f2f5ffe6000)
        libspice-client-glib-2.0.so.8 => 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libspice-client-glib-2.0.so.8 (0x00007f2f5f61f000)


To add SPICE support, I simply added 'libspice-client-gtk-3.0-dev' to the 
Build-Depends list in debian/control.
