Interesting, at least that is already implemented. I'm not sure how it would fit in to the d-i scheme. Also minesweeper seems a little low-intensity. Have you tried the generation? I created a 128bit key, and that was painful. There is a lot of entropy needed, and there probably isn't much coming from other sources or already accumulated. When you generate a GPG key on your workstation you have a helping hand. As I said, I'm not sure the idea is workable, but I like it. Perhaps it could be implemented anyway, so you can drop to VT5 to play a game while waiting for the long portions of the installer to complete. If someone can come up with a high intensity game that doesn't require much entropy itself, then it might be feasible.
