<b>Status:</b> Fixed in Buster Alpha 5.</dd>
+ <dt>TLS support in wget is broken</dt>
+ <dd>A change in the openssl library leads to some issues for its
+ users, since a configuration file that was initially optional
+ suddenly became mandatory. As a consequence, at
+ least <tt>wget</tt> doesn't support HTTPS within the installer
+ (<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/926315">#926315</a>).
+ <br />
+ <b>Status:</b> The root cause has been identified and a fix is
+ expected for D-I Buster RC 2.</dd>
+
+ <dt>Entropy-related issues</dt>
+ <dd>Even with functional HTTPS support in wget, one might run
+ into entropy-related issues, depending on the availability of a
+ hardware random number generator (RNG) and/or on a sufficient
+ number of events to feed the entropy pool
+ (<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/923675">#923675</a>). Usual
+ symptoms can be a long delay when the first HTTPS connection
+ happens, or during SSH keypair generation.
+ <br />
+ <b>Status:</b> This needs to be investigated.</dd>
+
+ <dt>LUKS2 is incompatible with GRUB's cryptodisk support</dt>
+ <dd>It was only lately discovered that GRUB has no support for
+ LUKS2. This means that users who want to use
+ <tt>GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK</tt> and avoid a separate,
+ unencrypted <tt>/boot</tt>, won't be able to do so
+ (<a href="https://bugs.debian.org/927165">#927165</a>). This
+ setup isn't supported in the installer anyway, but it would
+ make sense to at least document this limitation more
+ prominently, and to have at least the possibility to opt for
+ LUKS1 during the installation process.
+ <br />
+ <b>Status:</b> Some ideas have been expressed on the bug.</dd>
