Control: severity -1 important

As reported in #999811 the haveged package is obsolete starting in
linux 5.6 and newer, as the kernel adopted a similar algorithm and
also stopped blocking /dev/random reads.
I am upgrading severity to serious because I believe this is release
critical for bookworm.
No, thanks.
OK.
There may still be reasons to keep haveged in Debian, I do not know.
(do all archs have these >5.6 features? is it still needed in
addition?)

1+ month into the hard freeze isn't when you suddenly want to remove a

Sorry, I hadn't seen that bug :(
Post-bookworm I guess...
Thanks,
