I simply differentiate between the Debian packaging and our  
developmental upstream hosting of NX code. X2go is not NX upstream  
(though we a couple of weeks ago thought that we would be that as NX  
seemed to be dead around NXv3).

Thus I chose the standard way:

   o take a tarball from upstream
   o wrap Debian packaging stuff around
   o (the above two points were actually done by Stéphane for Ubuntu)
   o start a Git history (pkg-x2go, not upstream X2go) from here

What history has been lost (does anyone know where Matthew developed  
his packages?) is the history of packaging the NX <=3.2.x stuff for  
Debian...

Greets,
Mike
