the ltspfs and ltspfsd binaries are packaged in universe, following the
instructions on the wikipage at
http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/LtspFS should get you working
localdevice support (note that ltspfsd requires the -a option in ubuntu
ltsp to make it work with ssh based authentication).
we will work on an implementation specification in paris (traditionally
the ltsp.org crew will attend and help with writing it) to have it
included in edgy eft by default.
