Packages are available for LTSP, including one for the LTSP NFS root itself. I don't recall if these are available within Debian proper; I think I downloaded most of them from elsewhere (they were binary only, for starters). I'm not particularly satisfied with the packaging approach used, since I would much prefer to be able to manage the contents of the NFS root directly with dpkg. However, running debootstrap in a postinst gave me problems when I told it to *not* use the noninteractive debconf frontend... I would rather like to be able to configure the packages being installed in the chroot... :) I haven't poked at it much in a while, but if there's interest, I can gather up my working directory and post it somewhere for others to hack on.
