As long as we have not released a new upstream version, the nx-libs nightly packages we built for Arctica / X2Go are always strictly below the released package versions officially shipped in the distro. So, you need to enforce that the nightly builds are preferred over the distro's nx-libs. This is wanted (by me). And yes, it is counter intuitive for PPAs. This results from X2Go's nx-libs 3.6.x branch simply being synced over from Github.
