There's nothing in what I have written (on this bug report or in the code I've quoted or pointed to) that references /target, no. TBF I have no idea whether we should do that; the situation is slightly different as a non-installer/non-live system can carry over entropy from one boot to the next one, which d-i can't do. I've focussed on getting entropy issues within d-i fixed, which seemed urgently needed. I'm fine with people seeking a consensus through debian-boot@ (and maybe debian-devel@) regarding what should happen in the installed system. (I almost mentioned the fix would be trivial as it's about pulling an extra package, but since we have no rng support in udebs at the moment, we would have no rng support in d-i thus haveged running, while the installed system could have rng support… Anyway: deciding what to do is the important part; implementation should be much more straightforward than the haveged udeb addition dance I've just orchestrated.)
