thanks

I've finished my packaging efforts together with my AM. If anybody is
interested in uploading this packge into Debian, the packaging files can
be found at 
http://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/timer-entropyd.git/

Some remarks:
1) The source files don't contain any license conditions, there's just
the GPL2 included in a separate file. I've asked upstream whether that
means GPL2 or GPL2+, but didn't get any answer.

2) The daemon doesn't create a pid file. I've worked around this using
pgrep in the init file, but a better solution should be coded in the
upstream code (I'd guess this code could be taken from about any other
daemon).

3) When started, the daemon prints a copyright line. This disturbs the
output of the init.d script. Again, this should be changed in the
upstream code (perhaps by introducing a --quiet option, or similarly).
