Hello,

we (Univention) have a Debian package from xrdp-0.7.0~git20130113 for our own 
Debian Squeeze based distribution UCS-3.1, which is available through our 
AppCenter since today.

The problem with building X11rdp is that you need the source code of the X.org 
server, because X11rdp reuses large sections of that code. Sadly the Xorg 
server does not export enougth interfaces to build X11rdp against the public 
interface of Xorg server.
With that approach it's very unlikely for X11rdp to enter Debian, since 
including the Xorg source code a second time into the Debian archive would 
create additional work for the Debian Security Team, which would then have to 
fix bugs in two packages.

With Squeeze the versions of several packages are too old, so in our build I 
had to include the newer source code anyway:

xorg/X11R7.6/x11_file_list.txt
> xproto-7.0.20.tar.bz2 : xproto-7.0.20 :
> libdrm-2.4.26.tar.bz2 : libdrm-2.4.26 :
> MesaLib-7.10.3.tar.bz2 : 
Mesa-7.10.3 : --disable-gallium --with-dri-drivers=swrast 
--with-dri-driverdir='${libdir}/dri-7.10.3'
> libXfont-1.4.3.tar.bz2 :  libXfont-1.4.3 :
> xorg-server-1.9.3.tar.bz2 : 
xorg-server-1.9.3 : --with-sha1=libcrypto --disable-dmx 
--with-dri-driver-path='${libdir}/dri-7.10.3'

With Wheezy the versions of the pre-requisits are newer, so I would hope that 
only the source code of xorg-server is needed for building X11rdp.
If there's enough interest I'll have a look at that as well.

Sincerely
Philipp
