    Remove haveged · f8c46bc9
    Kristian Klausen authored Mar 19, 2021
    haveged was presumably added to increase entropy and prevent entropy
    starvation.
    
    A few things has changed since, most notable:
    * the kernel actively tries to add entropy (jitter entropy)[1][2][3][4]
    * /dev/random no longer blocks after CRNG initialization[5][6]
