Description: Spice agent for Linux
 spice-vdagent is the spice agent for Linux, it is used in conjunction with
 spice-compitable hypervisor, its feature includs:
 \* Client mouse mode (no need to grab mouse by client, no mouse lag)
   this is handled by the daemon by feeding mouse events into the kernel
   via uinput. This will only work if the active X-session is running a
   spice-vdagent process so that its resolution can be determined.
 \* Automatic adjustment of the X-session resolution to the client resolution
 \* Support of copy and paste (text and images) between the active X-session
   and the client

Justification
============
The GNOME virtualization app Boxes (gnome-boxes) uses Spice. The small 
spice-vdagent package is more or less equivalent to VirtualBox's guest 
additions.

>From IRC yesterday:

bochecha > one thing though, which could make your Debian-GNOME vms
snappier is to install spice-vdagent inside the vm if you don't have it
installed already. Fedora Workstation has it installed by default, so
that Fedora runs nicely in vms out of the box.
