The 08-edu-hostname script is unrelated to this issue, it's only
about Debian Edu compliant hostname setting.

Yes, that's because the PXE configuration for the main 10.0.0.0/8 subnet
uses 'ipappend 2'; this option makes sure that all DHCP server
information gets through to the LTSP client.
LTSP switched to using 'ipappend 3' instead of 'ipappend 2' during the
Buster development cycle. While this option is useful for a simple LTSP
setup w/o a proper DHCP server, it prevents the DHCP server information
to get through to the client in the Debian Edu case.
For the dedicated LTSP subnets to show the same behaviour like the main
subnet, the related PXE option needs to be adjusted for the LTSP setup.
I've tested the following patch to work on a fresh installation using
the latest amd64 BD ISO image. (Replaced 001-ltsp-settings inside d-i
environment.) It works like expected.

While at it, I've also tested the changed finish-install script (like
found in git) once again, works like expected (with haveged present).
