It is a versioning topic. 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.
