root@debian:~# showtrans /dev/random
/hurd/symlink /etc/alternatives/random
root@debian:~# showtrans /etc/alternatives/random
/hurd/symlink /dev/random-hurd
root@debian:~# showtrans /dev/random-hurd
/hurd/random --seed-file /var/spool/random-seed
root@debian:~# showtrans /dev/urandom
/hurd/symlink /etc/alternatives/urandom
root@debian:~# showtrans /etc/alternatives/urandom
/hurd/symlink /dev/urandom-hurd
root@debian:~# showtrans /dev/urandom-hurd
/hurd/random --seed-file /var/spool/random-seed --fast

/dev/urandom has --fast option to random translator, while /dev/random does not.
Both seem to point to the same translator /hurd/random.
