Sorry, I should have been more clear.  My criticism wasn't
meant to be about the fact that the keys are created, or
that it takes so long -- you can't change that anyway if
you need sshd.  My point rather was that there should be
a bit more verbose output, so the user knows that the box
isn't deadlocked or something.
Can we launch this in the background?  Installation can proceed without 
sshd, and if you need remote access, well, you just have to wait.

Do you know if needs 29 minutes of CPU time, or does it just have to 
wait so long until all neccessary entropy has been gathered?  Maybe 
there is still a but in entropy gathering somewhere.
