$ apt-cache show epoptes-client | grep ^Recommends:
Recommends: openssl, python-gtk2, xterm, x11vnc, zenity

Unfortunately LTSP thin client chroots in Ubuntu have apt configured to
not install Recommended packages.
On the other hand, the epoptes-client package contains a plugin that
copies (with cp) the server certificate to the chroot automatically.
And, the sysadmin can also use cp to manually copy the certificate
instead of installing openssl:
  cp /etc/epoptes/server.crt /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/epoptes/
And finally, the openssl executable isn't needed by epoptes-client later
on at all, only as a helper to fetch the certificate... i.e. it's not
really a dependency.

So I'm not sure how to handle this... possible solutions are:
 1) If LTSP in Ubuntu was modified to install recommended packages,
    like in Debian,
 2) If epoptes-client depended on openssl, instead of recommending it,
 3) If the wiki page mentioned using `cp` on Ubuntu thin clients
    instead of `epoptes-client -c`.
