The Buster release notes warn about a possibly insufficient entropysource during boot and recommends installing "haveged" on systems withthat problem.

I run a few Stretch systems on old processors that do not support theRDRAND instruction.

Can I simply install "haveged" on the Stretch systems *before* theupgrade to Buster to avoid problems during the upgrade?


Thanks,
Jesper
