Hi Holger!

This is not really fixed in linux-image-4.17.0-1-amd64.

I'm still having a little delay with 4.17.8-1

It should not. The kernel now takes more time to get the necessary entropy (actually before it was giving random values when it shouldn't).

A workaround is to install haveged, but beware that some people don't trust it enough.

For what I've saw having an encrypted disk helps.

Regards, Lisandro
