Iit looks at an environment variable first. If that one is not there is goes for $HOME/.rnd unless setuid. If $HOME is missing it will go for /dev/srandom and something else on OpenBSD (this is replay from memory). So we could ask people to set the env-variale in maintainers script to /dev/urandom be done with it (or in dh). > Kurt Sebastian
