Bug Description

Hi, debian/tftpd-hpa.templates contains:
Default: /var/lib/tftpboot

Which is different from Debian's:
Default: /srv/tftp

This change remained in Ubuntu mainly for the ltsp-server package, which configured tftpd-hpa for backwards compatibility before FHS 2.3 went into use.

I'm upstream and Debian (and Ubuntu) maintainer for LTSP. The new LTSP in Bullseye and Focal has switched to using /srv/tftp, and those ltsp-specific patches should now be dropped.

I'll also file a similar report in isc-dhcp-server, to drop the old LTSP specific bits there too.

Thank you.

As expected the change is simple.
I prepared an MP for review to then upload it later on.

---------------
tftp-hpa (5.2+20150808-1ubuntu4) focal; urgency=medium

  * debian/tftpd-hpa.templates: revert the default back to /srv/tftp. This
    was done mainly for the ltsp-server package but is no more needed
    (LP: #1855490).
