Package: ltsp

Severity: wishlist

When using nbd instead of nfs, ltsp uses unionfs.
Unionfs is being replaced by aufs in similar systems like live cds. It's
better maintained upstream, more reliable[1] and less buggy, so even
unionfs-modules Debian maintainer recommends its replacement[2].
I've tried it, and it works perfectly. Attached is the usual patch to
change this behaviour.
By the way, doing the patch I've checked that the files:
client/initramfs/hooks/ltsp_client
client/initramfs/init-bottom/unionfs_cow
are not used in the packaging of ltsp, and totally useless ;-)
Best regards.
