I request an adopter for the rng-tools package. This was introduced to
update rng-tools5. Michael, I hope you can adopt this, move it to
unstable and remove rng-tools5.

The package description is:
 The rngd daemon acts as a bridge between a Hardware TRNG (true random number
 generator) such as the ones in some Intel/AMD/VIA chipsets, and the kernel's
 PRNG (pseudo-random number generator).
 .
 It tests the data received from the TRNG using the FIPS 140-2 (2002-10-10)
 tests to verify that it is indeed random, and feeds the random data to the
 kernel entropy pool.
 .
 This increases the bandwidth of the /dev/random device, from a source that
 does not depend on outside activity. This may improve the behavior of systems
 which experience low values in /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
 It may also improve the quality (entropy) of the randomness of /dev/random.
 .
 A TRNG kernel module such as hw_random, or some other source of true
 entropy that is accessible as a device or fifo, is required to use this
 package. It will take advantage of the RDRAND and RDSEED instructions
 included in some Intel & AMD CPUs.

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
rng-tools, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is
attached.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 1142758@bugs.debian.org,
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.
