Hi,

nxsetup is used to install and test freenx server but in a non managed way.
In a package it will probably just break things. So I want to not ship it at
all.

nxsetup do the following:
 1 - creates the nx user
 2 - set permissions to /var/lib/nx/*
 3 - adds the public key
 4 - test the configuration

 - freenx-server package should do the steps 1 and 2
 - step 3 can be done in two ways:
    - ask on freenx-server installation if the user want to use nomachine or
a generated key
    - create one package for each configuration. The 2 can't be installed at
the same time
 - If the package is installed, so freenx server should just work and step 4
is not necessary.
    If something don't work it should be treated as a packaging bug.

Did you install freenx-server or freenx?
freenx-server will not install every dependency. You should install freenx
if you want everything

nxdesktop is deprecated. nx uses rdesktop now.

nxviewer is deprecated too. vncviewer is used  now.

Everything is installed in /usr/bin or /usr/lib
The programs that should only be used by nx must be moved to /usr/lib/nx
again.

It is a bug. This should be /etc/X11/Xsession instead.

freenx-media should depend on smbfs, not just suggests, so it is a bug.

I need feedback on how to treat the public key. Should I put in two packages
or a debconf question?

Thanks.
