It's always a good idea to test an upgrade first.  Chances are, you're
not running a stock edubuntu box (you can't be, since you're using 
smbldap, which isn't as yet included by default), so there's always a
possibility that things will break.

No, the correct order would be:

ltsp-build-client
ltsp-update-sshkeys
ltsp-updake-kernels
ltsp-update-image (this should always be last)
