It certainly could use an update, yes.
The document mentions at the end a request for comments. Some comments
were given looong time ago:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2004/09/threads.html (at the end) and
http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2004/10/threads.html (at the start).
Those comments could probably make a good start on such update.

The above is not reuse of Debian binaries in LTSP environment. It is the
reuse of Ubuntu X11 autoconfiguration for LTSP.
I'd certainly like to hear more concrete on Ubuntu properly getting LTSP
into Debian.

Sure, bugs needs ironing - in both Lessdisks and LTSP.
LTSP itself works, and is unofficially packaged to work with Debian.
Same is true with the Lessdisks packages used by Finn-Arne.
What needs to be "ironed out" is, I believe, problems of both LTSP and
Lessdisks: Sane support of removable media and local periferals, and
sane auto-installable and upgradeable packaging.
