Does this mean that haveged is no longer needed on armhf hosts that are running kernels later than 5.3.9 ? I notice my armhf (Cubox) host on Debian Testing that the haveged daemon does not start. > root@cube:~# uname -a > Linux cube 5.4.0-3-armmp #1 SMP Debian 5.4.13-1 (2020-01-19) armv7l

Dropping haveged from the installer

Linux 5.4 introduces an in-kernel jitter-entropy implementation for systems without a usable hardware RNG, which should remove the need for haveged. We could possibly cherry-pick that change on to 5.3, to avoid the need for further changes to haveged packaging. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Logic
