As their names suggest, those packages are for the client only.  That
is, they reside in the client chroot directory, which gets transformed
into the client image that is used during an LTSP session, via NBD (for
LTSP 5).

You simply need to PXE-boot your computer and establish a traditional
LTSP session but I have the feeling you want to run everything locally
and only use the server to run your applications.  That's not what LTSP
is for.  The inverse is possible, however, and it is called fat client
computing.
