I'm inclined to agree with this as the source (+ features/parameters) for this package is substantially different from rng-tools/rng-tools5. AFAICT the problem started when rng-tools changed substantially by the upload which made it (very) similar to rng-tools5 and I think the last line of the long description of rng-tools should've been removed as it only applies to the 'old' implementation (which is now in rng-tools-debian). I bumped into the 'conversation' because I noticed a lack of conversation/ coordination/progress. I'm thinking of updating https://github.com/debian-pi/ raspbian-ua-netinst/ to buster level and we use(d) the old rng-tools to get much better/more entropy on the Raspberry Pi. (I also want to investigate whether it'll help with other small SBCs like Pine A64) I haven't tried yet whether rng-tools5 will work just as well (raspbian-ua- netinst doesn't use any cmd-line params) And I also think that the current situation shouldn't end up in a stable release.
