I see the udeb as an option for custom debian distros to enable using
the udeb_include file on their CD, to install LTSP from d-i.

Are you here proposing a new tasksel profile, to run ltsp-build-client
at the end of the install?  That would be interesting.

As for GUI to manage ltsp, Oliver has made a draft with his
