nbd also is needed to support NBD swap. the intention of the
ltsp-server-standalone package is to have *all* functionality available.

users using NBD root wouldn't strictly need nfs-kernel-server at all, i
want to have a single package to install to ensure that the defaults for
Debian's ltsp to work.  i'd rather err on the side of
ltsp-server-standalone pulling in a little bit too much for non-default
scenarios than the other way around.

as you say, you can always install ltsp-server and whatever dependencies you
want.

live well,
