Yes, Debian Edu switched to re-written LTSP. The script isn't used atm. 
It could have been removed but has been kept because a revised version 
might be used instead of 
/usr/share/debian-edu-config/tools/edu-ltsp-install, which is used for 
Bullseye but doesn't seem to be quite handy. Also, all LTSP related 
documentation still needs some love after the existing LTSP setup has
been tested in real world deployments...
