John Denker provided many patches for the urandom init script. All of them were integrated in version sysvinit (2.88dsf-23) which is not ship in any Ubuntu version (not even in Raring).
IMHO, this bug should be set to high importance because having a good random seed is important for many cryptographic operations. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #596480 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=596480 ** Also affects: sysvinit (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=596480 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/947041 Title: urandom startup script initializes poolsize with incorrect value To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysvinit/+bug/947041/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
