Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request assistance with maintaining the rng-tools package.  I am
upstream for the package, but it needs "downstream-care" which I have
not been providing it with due to limited time.

The package description is:
 The rngd daemon acts as a bridge between a Hardware TRNG (true random number
 generator) such as the ones in some Intel/AMD/VIA chipsets, and the kernel's
 PRNG (pseudo-random number generator).

 It tests the data received from the TRNG using the FIPS 140-2 (2002-10-10)
 tests to verify that it is indeed random, and feeds the random data to the
 kernel entropy pool.

 This increases the bandwidth of the /dev/random device, from a source that
 does not depend on outside activity.  It may also improve the quality
 (entropy) of the randomness of /dev/random.

 A TRNG kernel module such as hw_random, or some other source of true
 entropy that is accessible as a device or fifo, is required to use this
 package.

 This is an unofficial version of rng-tools which has been extensively
 modified to add multithreading and a lot of new functionality.
