Ok, I will add those some time this (or next) week. Unfortunately, I  
lack knowledge about where former NX work has been maintained (thus, I  
do not have a Git/VCS history to build upon).

What I basically did, was:

   o adopt Stéphanes work (nxproxy, nxcomp)

   o Stéphanes work (nxproxy, nxcomp) reflects:
       - NX upstream sources (3.5.x) from NoMachine
       - the /debian folder as provided on code.x2go.org
       - X2go/Debian/Ubuntu changes on NX upstream have been pulled into quilt
         patches again (on code.x2go.org they have been incorporated in the
         code as commits)

   o create packages from other NX 3.5.x source tarballs myself (nxcompext,
     nxcompshad)

   o for nxproxy, nxcomp I dropped the Ubuntu changelog and created a new one
     -> I get that we should prepend former NX Debian package histories here
     (the stuff that Matthew, the former/still maintainer, has been working
     on)
   o for nxcompext, nxcompshad: have they been in Debian already? I found them
     in Ubuntu, but not in Debian. Maybe, I missed something, though. If they
     have not been in Debian, yet, they probably start with a clean changelog?

   o For NX libs I refrained from pulling the from code.x2go.org as the
     upstream vendor has resurrected: NX code has provided by NoMachine in
     version 3.5.x a couple of weeks ago.

Greets,
Mike
