[ltp] Lightening Debian - update

[cr]

I'll be getting round to that (speeding up the boot process) as soon as I've 
got my modem working.   (Not that I need a working modem to do it, of course, 
just that the modem is higher priority)

But mostly by turning off (or not launching) services I don't need, rather 
than trying to recompile the kernel or initrd, I'm not quite ready for that 
yet   :)
