Hi Daniel, Santiago,

thx for the answer; I am not 100% satisfied, though ;).

For me, it actually boils down to what notion we have:

(1) The builder hosts must provide reasonable entropy.
(2) Software testsuites generally must work fine even with low entropy.

In the past, I tended to go with (1) (which is one of the reasons mini-
buildd recommends haveged).

So I guess just going for both for now ;), so I will check how I can
improve that specific doctest in mini-buildd.

I am still sort of wondering how other testsuites behave in this
respect (like gnupg, gcrypt)?

Thx!

S
