Package: rng-tools
Version: 2-unofficial-mt.14-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Please support RDRAND (ivy bridge) and RDSEED (broadwell) instruction to
gather entropy.
RDRAND is already supported in upstream version 5.

There is also a rngd-rdrand which implements a nice and clean rngd with
rdrand as source and abiding to the intel specs regarding guaranteed
reseeding (1022 calls to rdrand).

greets
