[X2Go-User] TCE-live build

[Seth Galitzer]

My build script is not significantly different from yours, except I 
build i386 images for my AMD Geode thin clients. My build machine runs 
debian jessie and I can build images successfully for both jessie and 
stretch, just by changing $LBX2GO_DEBVERSION and selecting the proper 
branch for $LBX2GO_CONFIG. For stretch, use the branch as you have here. 
For jessie, take off "-stretch" from the end of the url.

I don't believe the release of the build host matters, as packages are 
pulled down according to the parameters passed to "lb config" and "lb 
build". These are generated based on files from the repo branch pulled 
down from $LBX2GO_CONFIG. I don't think there are specific branches for 
various ubuntu releases, though.
