Bug description:
  [Impact]
  when booting a ltsp-cluster thin client I am unable to get my configuration because the variable SERVER is overwritten by the file /var/cache/ltsp/ltsp_config.

  So we need to rename SERVER to CC_SERVER in getltscfg-cluster for it
  to work properly.

  [test case]
  configure your chroot to use ltsp-cluster.
  run getltscfg-cluster -a

  the server that it tryed to contact is the nbd-server
  When the script is broken, getltscfg-cluster try to do a wget on the nbd-server instead if the control center.
  With the patch, i changed the variable name to CC_SERVER to prevent the sourcing of /var/cache/ltsp/ltsp_config to overwrite the variable.

  [regression potential]
  None : The variable for the ltsp-cluster is changed to CC_SERVER in the script and configuration for ltps-cluster.

  [development fix]
  I know this section is deprecated but it's actually relevant in this case ;)
  The fix hasn't hit quantal yet because of some massive packaging rework going on with LTSP to try and bring us in sync with Debian. I can guarantee that we will have a new upstream release in quantal that will include this fix. ETA is of a couple of weeks.

  the patch can be found here:

  thanks
