Moved nxsetup to /usr/lib/nx. Should be less confusing.

NX-3.2 don't use nxdesktop anymore.
If you look at http://www.nomachine.com/sources.php, you will find
nxdesktop-2.1.0-x but
not nxdesktop-3.2.0-x.

I've added a note to the warning.

About nxviewer you will not find version 3.2 only version 2.1.

freenx-vnc depends on xvnc4viewer | vnc-viewer.
vnc-viewer is a virtual package so any package that provides vnc-viewer can
be used.
And xtightvncviewer provides vnc-viewer.

Are the paths hardcoded in the nxsetup tool, because I couldn't find any of

They are set at nxloadconfig.

Yes seems to be a bug, freenx-media was installed, but smbfs wasn't,

Moved smbfs to Depends.

 I need feedback on how to treat the public key. Should I put in two

I think debconf is the best solution.

I have the same problem sometimes. Need to investigate.

Uploaded a version that correct these problems.
One more warning is shown: cups vesion that doesn't match 1.2. (I would take
toooo long to correct).
