Oh yes. You are right. I thought the root tree was still being gererated from the host server's tree, but those times seem to have passed. But this is strange. Why does lts-core include it's own version of busybox and X and other packages? Why not use the Debian packages and unpack them into the lts-root? What about security fixes as the recent one in xfree86? Those don't get onto the lts-clients until a new lts is uploaded.

He explained that this would be contrary to the political concept of local self-sufficiency. Therefore, each factory needing keyboards, no matter how few, manufactures them completely, even molding the keypads. -- Isaac Auerbach, IEEE "Computer", Nov. 1979
