I don't think LNS is an obscure term in regards to L2TP connections; all
the providers I've talked to about L2TP have used the term and also lots
of the documentation on the web; a simple Google search turns up many
results for "lns l2tp". I don't think it should be the job of the Debian
package description to define these sorts of terms; the sort of people
who have a need for this package should already know what an LNS is.

Again, I don't think this is that rare a term:
