Stéphane Graber's comment about entropy got me thinking...

Is there anywhere in the installation that depends on entropy (/dev/random or /dev/urandom)?

Something like openssh-server would, of course, for key generation. But that's not a default package, and the installation/configuration thereof comes long after the point at which most of you are triggering this bug.

So thinking much earlier in the installer, anything come to mind? Particularly something that might have been added since Gutsy as we now believe this is a regression?
