I believe it is a good idea to avoid product names like ltsp in the profile names, and believe it is better to come up with a descriptive name. What about terminal-server or netboot-server? Do you have references to questions from someone confused by the existing name, to gain some insight on the type of confusion and perhaps some clues on how best to avoid the confusion? I suspect We could move to -C template texts to avoid having to rename the profile names used internally and only have to change the visible text. This will give us less work when implementing a name change. We should anyway move to -C templates to be able to drop the dash (-) in the visible profile names. > As we have just introduced a new profile anyway, > roaming-workstation, translator will need to work on the templates > anyway, thus now is a good moment to do the change. Such rename will require changes to the source packages debian-edu, debian-edu-install and debian-edu-config, and will rename one of the meta packages leading to holding time in NEW on the next upload. We need to change the task test, the partitioning code, as well as the testsuite tests if a profile name changes. I might have forgotten something too. A search for Thin-Client-Server in these three package sources should expose all places that need to change.
