[Pkg-nx-group] freenx debian packaging

[Israel Miranda]

I'm interested, but I only know nx from the user point of view.
I'm very new to freenx, so I could test new releases.
I did a lot of research to find an updated version of freenx in a debian
format, as I didn't find it
I now use the free edition of nx from nomachine site in my home computer,
but in my workstation I use gpl freenx 0.60.
