Excellent, well, I actually joined recently to this list to comment some of 
the packaging I've being doing with the "easy to package" parts of nx.

I made a few packages to get to know nx more closely. As I wanted to make them 
for personal use I made some important changes in the way the nx has been 
packaged before ( personal opinion, cdbs can be a pain, and if upstream has 
different tarballs for different parts of the project it's usually a good 
idea to keep them separated ), so I packaged libxcomp2 (and -dev), 
libxcompext2 (and -dev), nxssh and nxproxy using debhelper. And started 
looking nx-X11, which is quite "not nice", I hope upstream migrates nx-X11 to 
the modular xorg structure soon.

The 4 packages ( libxcomp2 ,libxcompext2, nxssh and nxproxy ) are needed to 
get almost any free nxclient working, so I believe it's a good start.

The packages are available at http://maxy.com.ar/~maxy/debian/nx

Any comments are welcome.
