Starting from Linux kernel v5.4, the HAVEGED inspired algorithm has been
included in the Linux kernel (see the LKML article and the Linux Kernel
commit). Additionally, since v5.6, as soon as the CRNG (the Linux
cryptographic-strength random number generator) gets ready, /dev/random
does not block on reads anymore (see this commit).
Given that even oldstable AKA bullseye is at kernel version 5.10, let's give it a try to run our live systems without haveged by default.
Quoting from https://github.com/jirka-h/haveged/blob/master/README.md:
