As an outside observer with nothing really at stake here, it would seem that 
rather than Debian providing a hobbled version of the spice client that uses 
raw audio (disables Celt), they offer up a patch for both the server and the 
client that implements a negotiation for either Opus or Celt (for backwards 
compatibility). A spice client without Opus could utilize Celt and one that 
only supports Opus could negotiate with the server for Opus. The fall back for 
either is the raw PPM data.
