I recommend the following procedure (you need git and quilt for this):

$ git clone git://code.x2go.org/nx-libs.git
$ QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches quilt push -a
$ make && make install

Please take a closer look at the patches as some of them replace  
installation paths in a hard coded manner. If you do not want to  
install to /usr/ (rather to /usr/local/) it needs some work of yours.  
Please contribute your patches and fixes.

Please try the above in a chroot first (before bugging your build  
server). Esp. the ,,make install'' is untested yet. So prepare for  
being a tester.

Mike
