We (Robotics section of Debian Science team) are packaging 
ROS (Robot OS: http://www.ros.org/) for Debian. ROS uses   
many packages already in Debian, but also has a set of   
core/toolchain/build-system packages which are not yet 
uploaded. This package is part of that ROS system.

Most of the packaging work is already done, and available at
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/ros/

  Description     : Robot OS random numbers package

This package is part of Robot OS (ROS). It contains a library which
provides wrappers for generating floating point values, integers, and
quaternions using boost libraries. The constructor of the wrapper is
guaranteed to be thread safe and initialize its random number
generator to a random seed.  Seeds are obtained using a separate and
different random number generator.
