My idea was more to revert (kind of) 7e3efdac75caca0b283f8e76ad24c924b4718e7b:

    spice: require spice-protocol >= 0.8.1
    
    Requiring spice-server >= 0.8.2 is not enough since spice-server.pc
    doesn't require spice-protocol (any version). Until that is fixed
    upstream an explicit requirement in qemu fixes compilation broken since

The rationale does not apply any more, spice-server depends on spice-protocol.
