Not exactly. The LTSP directory is a chrooted directory only used to send the 
basical system to the thin-clients at boot. It is not used after that.

Don't be confuse with the LTSP part and the software and user accounts part:
- LTSP is only the little chrooted system that is downloaded by the thin-
clients at boot, plus the various servers softwares (dhcp, tftp, ssh, 
NFS/NBD), in charge to deliver the chrooted system or the access to the /home 
directory. Those servers are not installed in the chroot part, but in the 
normal file system of the server.
- On the server reside all the software and user accounts that the thin-
clients will access.

So for your new installation, you just need to setup the LTSP and copy the 
user's account datas (/etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /home directory) on the new 
system. 

(I speak french if you need)
