I am interested in Ubuntu package, but others are interested in Debian.
We are using launchpad to host the code.

Could you please clarify what your real goals are. Is your aim to "just"

I will try to get included into Ubuntu. I'm hopping they are less
restrictive.
NX libraries will not be accepted into Debian [5].

Jeremy Wilkins [2] and Zaar are in the team [1]

If it is also the latter one, than there is also a list for packaging it

They are not working on the package. The problem is the duplication
of code. Debian will not support Xorg and a fork (NX). [5]
If they want they can grab our package. I use FreeNX in 2 servers
everyday so I work on the package once in a while.

Anyway, thanks for your answer in advance. I hope all you people doing
