It is. As Mike said, it is included in the top-level directory in the
source tarballs, which should be the most convenient way to package
x2go. Surprisingly, the tarballs are not directly created from git,
but there is a generation step between that generates the two flavors
of the tarball. For details, please have a look at the tarball
generator script:

http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=nx-libs.git;a=blob;f=debian/roll-tarballs.sh

If you really want to build directly from git, you would have to redo
the steps done in debian/rules or the generator script yourself. The
most important steps is to apply the (right) patches with quilt.
