DAEMON_OPTS are not recognized

[Thomas Fahle]

DAEMON_OPTS in /etc/haveged are not recognized due to '--' in /etc/init.d/haveged

man bash: "A -- signals the end of options and disables further option processing. "

I wanted to set the write_wakeup_threshold to 1024 bits in /etc/default/haveged,
e.g. DAEMON_OPTS="-w 1024"

This should modify /proc/sys/kernel/random/write_wakeup_threshold, but it doesn't.

In addition I'd like to set a sane default in /etc/default/haveged

oops sorry, i edited the wrong bug :-/

haveged systemd service does correctly apply any DAEMON_OPTS, so I'm closing this really old bug.
