Typically, "commuter" wheels should be able to break a spoke and still be substantial enough to remain in reasonable true, so no real need to carry a spare spoke. Fix it when you get home.
I think in this day & age, anyone doing substantial touring isn't going out on "marginal" wheels, although they are packing enough gear that a spare spoke or 2 isn't going to make much of an impact on their "cargo".
