I think these need a little farther adjustments.
I don't want to do it directly as it's somewhat intrusive at this stage ;)
But I'd post a suggestion and see if there are any objections | corrections.

Certainly does, usually.
For some reason it did loop for me but I didn't keep the log to show it.
I'd look into it, maybe it will be easier to write a rm line than a bug

This wasen't during install but later.
Installed version of ltsp-server is 5.1.10-2
--apt-keys /etc/apt/trusted.gpg did work.
Still it should be documented (where?) that this is no longer compatible
with debian-edu and get debian-edu-ltsp working.
