Bug Description
The command line parametres “rngd” takes differ between Debian and *buntu, which leads to loss of operation (rng stream import no longer works, leading to loss of entropy on devices) and script failures in the latter:
*buntu
[-d, --no-drng=1|0]
[-n, --no-tpm=1|0]
[-q, --quiet]
[-v, --verbose]
debian
[-B n | --rng-buffers=n]
[--hrng=name]
[-R name | --rng-driver=name]
[-H n.nnn | --rng-entropy=
[-Q quality | --rng-quality=
[-T n | --rng-timeout=n]
[-t n | --feed-interval=n]
The other parametres are the same.
Please fix this by updating to the Debian version of this package.

The debian package is very out of date, so I don't think this bug report makes sense.
In any case, it's not a security issue.
