Realized this after sending but can't unsend :/ So spice-gtk will rely
on headers in the submodule only, and make dist will produce them in the
tarball as well? sounds like a source of confusion (no pun intended).
Isn't it better that make dist *doesn't* include the spice-protocol
sources, and continue to have a spice-protocol-bla.tar.gz ? That way
it's the same one for several building packages. Or do you think it
should diverge simply because different packages will have different
needs at the same time?
