Title:
  [MIR] spice-vdagent

Status in spice-vdagent package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Availability
  ============
  Built for all supported architectures.

  In sync with Debian except for one cherry-picked patch to hide spice-
  vdagent from Startup Applications.

  Rationale
  =========
  "spice-vdagent adds some nice features to guest systems running over SPICE: copy and paste between guest and host, arbitrary resolution support, ... It's also very tiny (40kB compressed, less than 200kB installed) and won't startup when not running in a SPICE guest.
  Shipping it on the desktop ISOs will improve the user experience when using SPICE (eg in GNOME Boxes), and will have no impact on other use cases, so it would be really nice to add this package to the ISO."

  Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 and 17.04 included it in the default install.

  Security
  ========
  No known open security vulnerabilities.
