Spotify on Debian Wheezy (testing)

As I have a premium account for Spotify I was disappointed when I discovered that the client does not install on a recent Debian testing installation.
It depends on libssl-0.9.8 but this is not available in Wheezy anymore. The problem is solved by adding a source for Debian stable additionally to the Spotify source to the file /etc/apt/sources.list:
    deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free
    deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable non-free

After fetching the new sources with

    apt-get update

run

    apt-get install spotify-client

to install Spotify 🙂
