The workaround for LTSP would be to add an additional stanza in the
nbd-server configuration so that both behave the same.

[opt/ltsp/i386]

[/opt/ltsp/i386]


The better solution would be to fix in nbd's initramfs hooks:

case nbdroot in
  ^/*|*:/*) nbdpath= ...
        nbdsrv= ... ;;
esac

I'd much prefer the latter, since LTSP has used /opt/ltsp/* to define
the path for at least the last two Debian releases. I think it's the
proper way to fix the issue for all use-cases, but haven't found time to
actually finish a patch.


Off the top of my head, I think the bug was introduced during stretch,
by adding support for specifying ports using a /, but in so doing it it
required a leading / (#840612), which was fixed by ignoring the leading
/ in the nbdpath, thus leading to this bug...
