I had the same opinion, but once xdebc in sid is depending on hwinfo
why we shouldn't add it now? Keep in mind that we can end in a
scenario that ltsp in a sid chroot will guess the hardware properly
and with sarge won't, and the fault will be because the hwinfo is
missing. Yes, i know that it can happen due to others reasons.

There's more two changes that i need to sort out 'in house' to see if
they're really needed but maybe you can give me some feedback and
they're:

- The "root=/dev/nfs ip=dhcp" thing:
It wasn't added in the 'default' file, i grepped the latest ltsp and
it seems to be there, but i need to read the code carefully and see if
i did something wrong. The fact is that i upgraded from a older ltsp
package, i will do from scratch soon.

- keyboard/ vt terminal issue:
Did you already see X starting right showing up gdm (yes, i tested
with gdm), but locking the keyboard ? A co-worker has a patch that
deals with vt terminal thing (see X log output) that i need to review.
Maybe it was a unnecessary hack that he made or a brand new bug. Let
me know :)

Thanks,
