Oh yes. You are right. I thought the root tree was still being gererated
from the host server's tree, but those times seem to have passed.
But this is strange. Why does lts-core include it's own version of
busybox and X and other packages? Why not use the Debian packages and
unpack them into the lts-root? What about security fixes as the recent
one in xfree86? Those don't get onto the lts-clients until a new lts is
uploaded.

I asked the engineer who designed the communication terminal's keyboards
why these were not manufactured in a central facility, in view of the
small number needed [1 per month] in his factory. He explained that this
would be contrary to the political concept of local self-sufficiency.
Therefore, each factory needing keyboards, no matter how few, manufactures
them completely, even molding the keypads.
