Comment (by frwessling):

 '''Suggestion for End-Users:'''

 If you need duck to work now, and cannot wait for the devs (sometimes this
 happens).

 You can increase the entropy of your systems' /dev/random by using
 something like ''haveged''.

 This acts as a quite decent source of randomness to feed /dev/random in a
 very efficient (non-CPU-intensive) way. And works excellently for
 VM/containers that have no access to more traditional sources of
 randomness.

 There are some other projects and methods but something like ''haveged''
 should be fairly available and infrastructure independent,  so no need to
 worry about virtio / kvm / qemu ...

 Also, a '''big''' thank you to the cyberduck team for their support.
