Bug#976112: Overwriting with random data message truncated



Package: debian-installer
Version: 2020-11-23

When installing on an NVMe device, the message

"The installer is now overwriting /dev/nvme0n1p3 with random data to prevent meta-information leaks from "

is truncated in the graphical installer.

I'd suggest just s/The installer is now o/O/

Also, it takes a very long time to write a terabyte of random data.
I suspect you can't do much about that though (... use RDRAND directly?).
