I had a look today, and due to newt current limitations, this would be
hard to do in a nice way. So I think this is pretty "wontfix".

The entropy plugins add a "Go Back" button when the "backup" capability
is set. This was not actually the case before version 29, where
cdebconf-newt-entropy was always adding the "Go Back" button.
So we have a regression here if it's not shown during the
installation. :D
Looks like have_entropy_plugin() uses "db_capb" instead of
"db_capb backup" in order to check for the "plugin-entropy" capability.
As I am currently on the go, I am unable to verify if this would fix the
problem…
If this is true, at least a clone of this bug should probably be
reassigned to partman-crypto.
