Well, then, you should make that explicit, viz. that almost everyone
risks waiting for minutes to hours booting due to entropy starvation
unless they are lucky enough to have a modern x86 CPU that supports the
RDRAND instruction, in which case Debian will effectuate by default a
workaround whose author, probably the leading expert in all things
random for the Linux OS named Theodore Ts'o, has stated clearly and
repeatedly is a BAD IDEA, because it "amounts to trusting that CPU
manufacturer (perhaps with the insistence or mandate of a Nation State's
intelligence or law enforcement agencies) has not installed a hidden
back door to compromise the CPU's random number generation facilities."

I should be so lucky.
