Hi Mihai,

two things come to mind while reading this:
1. why choose hello and not something that's on the system anyway,
like the kernel or bin-utils or some X package?
2. why do you want to mak x2gokdriveclient (or is it x2gokdrive?)  a
hard dependency? Nobody needs it unless he's wants to use it. People
can use x2go without it. So I see it as optional either way...

Uli
