Yes, but:

DESCRIPTION
       pwgen  generates  random,  meaningless  but  pronounceable
       passwords.

Pronouncability implies a certian degree of regularity. I could file a
RC bug report stating that pwgen always includes vowels in its
passwords, but it seems likely it does so by design. I'm not sure that
this 'oo' thing isn't also be design.
