well, i think ltspfsd will not work without the proper mcookie thats set
by ldm anymore you will need any similar implementation in whatever you
use instead, between the 4 and 5 series a lot of security changes were
made that you will need to take into account, ldm brings parts of these
in. 
i dont see a reason why we shouldnt split the binary into ltspfsd-core
and ltspfsd-scripts and an ltspfsd metapackage that depends on both. 

that way you could use the ltspfsd-core package which contains only the
binary. it has the advantage that the scripts can be arch: all

any opinions ?
