That requires some work to avoid breaking compatibility with the unofficial fork packaged for Debian, which I currently don't have spare time to do. An alternative would be for someone else to package the new version as rng-tools4, or just submit a patch adding RDRAND support to the unofficial fork. I didn't accept the TPM patches because it would clash with the kernel and the rest of the userspace TPM stack, but RDRAND is different. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
