exactly,
but you do not offer an alternative to the package system. Did you ever 
try to install it by hand by following the readme. As I said b4, I'm a 
fan of freenx... But I've unable to install it by myself. And I'm 
getting stuck with an old freenx.

Since this topic, I've launched a new thread called:
howto install it manually on debian(etch)
and it seems that nobody want to help people building it by themself.
which will also help people from other distro to install it (solaris, 
slackware...)

How can you make such package when it is such a pain to install it by 
yourself.

yeah... but again where is the howto for the manual installation ?
