I believe we are already there, as all the non-essential pacages are
listed as packages to install using the EARLY_PACKAGES variable, and
thus can be easily overrides when needed.

ltsp-client only depend on lsb-base, nbd-client, ldm | sdm-terminal |
x-display-manager, initramfs-tools | initrd-netboot-tools, and the
rest can be configured using the --early-packages flag.

We need to avoid making ltsp too compex.  those that want complexity
can use lessdisks. :)
