yes, but do you suggest to switch the Debian packages to use
/dev/urandom by default?  I don't think it's a good idea, most systems
with Debian installed should provide enough entropy through /dev/random.
A solution could be to have dropbear first check /dev/random, and if it
blocks, to fall back to /dev/urandom.

Regards, Gerrit.
