Description Otto Hollmann 2024-02-14 10:16:18 UTC 
As mentioned in PED-6184, we would like to completely remove package haveged from ALP and also from Factory.

At the moment, haveged is required only by patterns-alp so it should be easy to remove it from ALP.

From https://github.com/jirka-h/haveged:
Starting from Linux kernel v5.4, the HAVEGED inspired algorithm has been included in the Linux kernel (see the LKML article and the Linux Kernel commit). Additionally, since v5.6, as soon as the CRNG (the Linux cryptographic-strength random number generator) gets ready, /dev/random does not block on reads anymore (see this commit).
