The next step will be to give you access to anonscm. I don't remember if
it's easy. Otherwise, we can move it elsewhere.

I did not package 0.7.0 because there is no 0.7.0. There is a branch
with sporadic updates but upstream does not make a formal release. It is
one of the main reason for me to orphan xrdp: upstream doesn't want to
do proper releases. He doesn't care and I find this painful. I don't
mind if you try to package 0.7.0, but you need to account for the fact
that you will package a git snapshot and if it happens to be included in
Jessie, you will have to ensure proper security support (cherry-picking
patches to a version that upstream may or may not support). For previous
releases, I don't remember any difficulty in that, but nonetheless.

The other task is x11rdp. It needs the whole X11 source to compile. This
is not something that we usually want to do in Debian. Maybe there has
been progress to allow one to compile x11rdp as a regular driver (with
just X11 headers installed) but I didn't check.
