After creating a chroot with: 1) debootstrap 2) debootstrap --variant=minbase and installing ltsp-client-core in both of them, I got the following results:
1) stretch-minbase-ltsp: 314M 2) stretch-normal-ltsp: 350M The difference is small, mainly due to apt-utils, bsdmainutils, cron, debconf-i18n, gnupg, ifupdown, iptables, isc-dhcp-client, logrotate, nano, rsyslog, vim-tiny, wget, whiptale. Some of those are even useful for minimal ltsp chroots as well. Regardless of actions taken in other packages, maybe LTSP should stop using --variant=minbase?
