No, this doesn't work: you cannot ship subdirectories of /dev in a
Debian package and expect it to work, that's a directory managed by
udev.

In this specific context, the directory exists in the tree where d-i
is built, it also exists in the initramfses that are built, but it's
masked at runtime, probably as soon as udev kicks in and the /dev
mountpoint is mounted as devtmpfs.

As a result, haveged still fails to start.
