Yes, but most of those features are obsolescent at best. I'm not clear
on what functionality is actually being used. (I'm hesitant to remove
it exactly because I'm not clear on that, but I tend to think that it's
functionally obsolete.)
I'm not knowledgeable enough to weigh in on that and/or what is best towards
the future, so I'll leave that up to you.

In what way?
Entropy generation for the creation of SSH keys as the netinstaller is mostly
used in headless situations.

That functionality doesn't require the old package; will work fine with
rng-tools5.
