We'll need to list all the rest in build-depends too, and update
it every time upstream will pick something else as needlessly as
it is now.  In particular, currently it's libssl-dev (right version) --
provided we patched out various other X bits.  With this particular
user - qemu-kvm - it so happens that libssl-dev gets pulled too,
unlike libpixmap, so there's no issue here.  For other package that
will try to use libspice, there will be yet another bug of the same
nature but due to missing libssl-dev dependency.

The problem is to have real dependencies - both build- and run-tme,
no less (to avoid bugs like this) and no more (to avoid pulling
whole archive just to install a random binary).

Thanks,
