or these packages :

rngd timer_entropyd audio-entropyd

should remove the appropriate line from their init.d file.


Furthermore both "use logger" and "need localmount" should be evaluated too for their needs in all 4 init.d files.

there are services which creates  certificates at their very first start (eg. apache, courier) - and therefore at least those services which depend on net, benefit from greater entropy
