Hi,
TL;DR; run "etc/init.d/urandom start" in postinst
On the first boot after installation with d-i, the seed file doesn't exist,
therefore no entropy is added to the kernel's RNG.
Thanks to #596482, fixed in 2.88dsf-23, the date is also included, so there
is at least some entropy.
This should probably be fixed in squeeze too, via a SPU. I don't think it
warrants a DSA.
Cheers,
