kvm comes from the qemu-kvm package, which comes from the qemu-kvm
source tree (git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/qemu-kvm.git).  This
enables kvm by default.

The qemu-kvm-spice package is provided by the qemu-linaro source
package, which is based on the qemu source tree
(git://git.qemu.org/qemu.git).  It disables kvm by default.

The reason for qemu-kvm-spice to come from the qemu-linaro source
package is because spice cannot go into main, and qemu-kvm is in main
while qemu-linaro is in universe.

So the answer to 'why not kvm-spice' is because that is the decision
made by the upstream for the qemu tree.

My fear is that patching this during build for the qemu-kvm-spice
package will be fragile.
