Putting the Launchpad bug into Cc.

Subject: rng-tools: replaced with inferior version

Source: rng-tools
Version: 5-1
Severity: serious
Justification: breaks existing uses of this package

This is the same as Launchpad bug #1333293 now arrived
in Debian itself.

The options (at least) -B, -H, -T, -t are gone, which
breaks my application using rngd.

I had to create this…
https://launchpad.net/~mirabilos/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+sourcepub/4628516/+listing-archive-extra
… in order to be able to continue using rngd as before.

Will we be reintroducing rng-tools 2.x as rng-tools-debian
into Debian buster/sid? Otherwise, support for all those
missing functionality and options MUST be added to the
new rng-tools package.

Thanks,
//mirabilos
