Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

As part of my work on a downstream privacy distro, I tested jitternentropy-rngd 
while integrating it and discovered the complementing kernel module 
jitterentropy_rng.ko never loads on boot as it is supposed to when the 
userspace jitterentropy daemon is installed. As a VM based OS a reliable 
entropy source that guarantees /dev/urandom is safely seeded is a priority. To 
test if it works one would see the signs described by the jitter dev Stephan 
Mueller [0]. I;ve confirmed that oddly no dmesg messages appear and the 
userspace service churns along fine despite the module silently never loading. 
Please try to fix this when possible. I will report this problem against the 
jitter package too.

TIA
