After preparing the two missing packages (perl-bytes-random-secure and perl-crypt-random-seed), I re-evaluated the interest of keeping makepasswd inside our repo. pwgen do the same job and faster.

Sp, Christian, are you interested by taking maintainership of makepasswd? In that case I fix the bug and I let you take over.
Otherwise, I drop makepasswd.

makepasswd always was the first to match my command completion. But I am fine with dropping it.

Did not know about pwgen, that one is really nice! Another alternative is mkpasswd from expect.
