I have been meaning to get back into packaging this.  However, my time
is quite limited at the moment and I am not sure when I will have
sufficient time to embark on this.  Having briefly looked at the NX
code, I believe it will take *lots* of work to make it suitable for
inclusion in Debian.  IIRC, they ship an entire X server embedded in
their software, which is not something we really want to for a number of
reasons, including wasted disk space, possible regressions, FHS
compliance and security.

If anyone feels strongly about getting this packaged, they are more than
welcome to get started.  I will help as I can, but I'm afraid my
contributions won't be too substantial.

Regards,

-Roberto
