fl_teachertool is installed by default in K12LTSP 5, and I assume it's the same in 
version 6, so you shouldn't have to install anything.  It does work out of the box, but 
for a couple of features, monitoring and controlling the client machines, there are some 
additional steps related to password setting that have to be done manually as root. 
Short of somehow launching an interactive tool, which no one has yet written, at the 
server's first boot, I can't think of a simple way to automate this.  These manual steps 
are few and easy and are listed on the fl_teachertool homepage.  If you'd like to write 
a README.fl_teachertool pointing to those additional steps, perhaps that could be 
included in the Documentation folder on root's desktop.
