Bug Description
[Impact]
It's pretty bad if a VM app can't install operating systems from physical CDs.
This can be fixed by simply having gnome-boxes depend on libosinfo-bin.
[Test Case]
1. Insert an operating system install CD into your computer (I recommend using a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or previous CD)
2. Open Boxes and click New
3. Click Continue and then try to select the install CD
What happens
- It's not really possible to select the physical CD
What should happen
- The CD should show up as an option above "Enter URL" or "Select a file"
[Regression Potential]
None

---------------
gnome-boxes (3.6.3-0ubuntu1) raring; urgency=low
* New upstream release
* debian/control.in:
- Depend on libosinfo-bin so that physical CDs can be used
for installing a new virtual machine (LP: #1089735)
* debian/control.in, debian/rules:
- qemu on Ubuntu 13.04 includes spice support so drop the
special handling
