Package: education-thin-client
Severity: wishlist

I recently uploaded a new tool for Diskless Machines to Debian
(derived from Klaus Ade Johnstad's brain). We should start using it in
Debian buster to enhance performance on Debian Edu based LTSP fat
client machines.

https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/desktop-autoloader

merely installing the packages does nothing, right? (So it's a safe
thing to do, see discussion in #895020)

Not yet. Simply installing it enables it by default.

Let's wait for the next upstream release (0.0.4-1).

we are good to go now with 0.0.4-1. If that version of
desktop-autoloader is installed, it will do nothing until enabled by
the sysadmin.
