It would be great getting the X2go clients into Debian. I did also talk
with Joost van Baal (a DD here in Holland) to realize the same, but I
don't know if he already looked at X2go, and I will tell him you are
working on it.

Getting the server packages into Debian will be a problem because of the
 NX library dependency. Take a look at the pkg-nx mailinglist:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-nx-group/

In short: the NX libraries contains duplicated software like SSH, Xorg,
Samba and Cups under a GPL license.

But getting the clients into Debian would be a great first step. QTNX is
already in Debian at the moment, an NX client for e.g. FreeNX.
