Thanks for your prompt response.

In that case, I'd suggest to take the following git repositories as
basis and import them to the x2go team repo, which, AFAIUI Jonas, is
collab-maint. I've done pretty minimal effort there (debian/copyright is
still unreviewed, packaging style is inconsistent, etc.). On the basis
of Matthew's work, I just committed work from the freenx team [1] over
it as a proof of concept, and it seems to work for x2go.

Jonas, if you agree, feel free to just go ahead:
