   This is the right one.

   does not exist...

   no lenny backports in those...

If you enable more than the correct repos, you get the newest package  
in terms of alphanumerical comparison...

On squeeze+ please use the packages currently in heuler and report  
your experiences with stability.  I would love to move those NX  
packages in heuler to main (i.e. considered stable by upstream) but I  
need more feedback on that. This has been agreed with Oleksandr  
yesterday in a chat session.

Yes, the packages are new and the way they are built is new. And they  
work much better than everything else we have built from NX code in  
Git. The packages in squeeze main are non-Git packages provided by  
Oleksandr as the packages from Git till September 2011 were really  
unstable (regular, reproducible session crashes related to x2goagent).

Yes, the new package build of NX (heuler) repos should make the  
parallel install of freenx and x2go possible again. I also want to fix  
,,our'' nxagent, so that it can be used with FreeNX, as well.
