This is exactly the way to do it.
Closing this bug as a not-a-bug report.
I don't really get it. What is the sense in adding a ppa to your system when you need additional steps to get the packages from there!? This is counter-intuitive! If a user adds the ppa he/she/it states his/her/its will to use packages from there, so why ignoring that user wish?

It is a versioning topic. As long as we have not released a new upstream version, the nx-libs nightly packages we built for Arctica / X2Go are always strictly below the released package versions officially shipped in the distro.
So, you need to enforce that the nightly builds are preferred over the distro's nx-libs. This is wanted (by me).
And yes, it is counter intuitive for PPAs. This results from X2Go's nx-libs 3.6.x branch simply being synced over from Github.
Then maybe this can be documented on (at least) this page (including the apt preferences snippet): https://launchpad.net/~x2go/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
Greets and thanks again jre
