i am merely one of the more active members of the team, the maintainer
is pkg-ltsp-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org. please respond there only (or
use the debian bug tracking system).

my apologies; i had intended to document it in debian/changelog, but apparently
missed it.

we stopped shipping ldminfod, as upstream relocated it to the ldm source
package some time ago, and we've been shipping a version with
ltsp-server in experimental. dropped it from the recent upload to
unstable. soon i'll upload ldm with a new package, ldm-server, but that
will likely get stuck in NEW a while as it's introducing a new binary
package.

please go ahead and file a bug report.

you can pull it from the ldm source package or upstream bzr and manually
install it as /usr/sbin/ldminfod, and then when ldm-server is available, it
will take over the file.

sorry for the confusion...
