This seems unnecessary and won't work as desired. If ltsp is in stable
you cannot ask for a security update of ltsp-core everytime a security
advisory for busybox or xfree86 happens. So people will have to update
their rootfs manually anyway.

The local admin should realize that his reaction to a security advisory
should not only be "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" but also:

That should be sufficient. That should be put into README.Debian.

Nice. Well done. Are you in contact with the skolelinux people? LTSP is
something really useful for a school (it was for mine).
