you might like the latest ltsp changelog entry then ;)

ltsp (0.92) edgy; urgency=low
.
   * Add a /etc/network/if-up.d/ltsp-keys script to copy the sshkeys 
     on every interface start, make ltsp-update-sshkeys use logger for 
     output, log to syslog and add descriptive error messages. This 
     avoids breakage if the server IP was changed and makes sure the 
     user doesnt need to run ltsp-update-sshkeys separately.


better error feedback is planned for ldm as well, but that might not
happen before edgy+1 since our time is very limited this release.
