My guess is that it contains the packages that are cached from the 
upgrade in /var/cache/apt/archives. To remove them you could run:
sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get clean
(or replace i386 with your architecture)

You could chroot in and remove the old kernels, to be safe I'd just run 
an ltsp-update-kernels to be sure that the current kernel is available 
for booting.

After you've made the above changes you can run ltsp-update-image again 
to build the new ltsp image.
