   5 <p><a href="http://www.spice-space.org/">The SPICE protocol</a> for
   6 remote display access is the preferred solution with oVirt and RedHat
   7 Enterprise Virtualization, and I was sad to discover the other day
   8 that the browser plugin needed to use these systems seamlessly was
   9 missing in Debian.  The <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/668284">request
  10 for a package</a> was from 2012-04-10 with no progress since
  11 2013-04-01, so I decided to wrap up a package based on the great work
  12 from Cajus Pollmeier and put it in a collab-maint maintained git
  13 repository to get a package I could use.  I would very much like
  14 others to help me maintain the package (or just take over, I do not
  15 mind), but as no-one had volunteered so far, I just uploaded it to
  16 NEW.  I hope it will be available in Debian in a few days.</p>
