Good point.  But, while it's no long used, it shouldn't hurt anything,
and in testing it all works fine... so I'm inclined to leave it alone
for now.

Yes.

Indeed.  The package has been set up this way for years.  This code is
only likely to be installed on a server with a stable network
configuration that's hosting one of the special hardware random number
generators used by the project, and they don't tend to have displays, so
in practice this isn't much of a problem.

There's an option to build the program without the UI enabled, but I've
never tried it, and that feels like a bigger change more suited for the
next stable release cycle.
