Yes, this should work.  The chroot environment looks like a full working ubuntu desktop. 


You should be able to install build tools and make whatever changes you like.  Create the LTSP client image and see what happens.

You should also be able to make "backup copies" of the image and put it back it the next version does not work.

ie.

cp -r /opt/ltsp/images /opt/ltsp/backup_images

You may also want to backup the main dir

cp -r /opt/ltsp/amd64 /opt/ltsp/backup_amd64
