Ok, for diskless machines, this is also good already.

For X2Go thinclients, we maybe to have the package plymouth installed?  
("splash" on the boot cmdline will not have an effect if the package  
plymouth is missing).

Yes, the ltsp.ipxe is created by evoking the `ltsp ipxe` command.

However, in Debian Edu, we do some post-tweakings:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-edu/debian-edu-config/-/blob/master/sbin/debian-edu-ltsp-ipxe?ref_type=heads

Please tinker with this script and let it modify the ltsp.ipxe file  
that gets generated by ltsp's code.
