Not too much, since there's no change in functionality AFAICS.
Good to know that this helps. So this could serve as a quick workaround.

Yes, but to get better output please install all other dbg packages
from here, too:

http://packages.x2go.org/debian/pool/main/n/nx-libs/

There a doc regarding automaitc debug package installation here:

At this stage you should run bt (backtrace) so we can see the calls
leading to this. There's no need to do single steps.

To see better output including the line where it crashed you could
also recompile the package as described in
https://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace#Rebuilding_the_package_you.2BIBk-re_debugging
