Dear release team,
[ Reason ]
It has been detected on real world deployments that some needed changes
due to the re-written LTSP in bullseye have not been addressed properly
or are missing, so:
(1) Fix TFTP server path (/var/lib/tftpboot-> /srv/tftp), #995610
(2) Add real support for LTSP chroot setup and maintenance, #996103
[ Impact ]
(1) Updating the PXE setup in case of missing firmware on client
systems would fail.
(2) The LTSP chroot setup and maintenance would be very complicated if
not impossible for local admins.
[ Tests ]
Manual tests have been done using VMs on a virtual Debian Edu network.
[ Risks ]
Very low: only Debian Edu LTSP server installations are concerned and
the default behaviour of installed systems is left unchanged. Adjusted
as well as new man pages are provided and the related manual will also
be updated.
[ Checklist ]
[x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in stable
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
