Note that the Debian changelog reads:

  * random: Enable RANDOM_TRUST_CPU. This can be reverted using the kernel
    parameter: random.trust_cpu=off

I’m inclined to trust Ben Hutchings’ judgement on this front.

Also, the 4.19.20 Debian package brings lots of hardware enablement improvements (added drivers and optional hardware support features).

#12 Updated by intrigeri 2019-02-19 17:39:07

  • Priority changed from Normal to High

Raising priority as this supersedes Bug #16469: once merged into stable and stable is merged into devel (+ APT snapshots thawed there, the usual drill), this will make devel build again.
