It's not clear to me whether the Xen driver is advertising correctly or
not. If it is, then the solution should be b, but that may be too
disruptive a change to the kernel. So a reasonable workaround might
be:
c. Change the input subsystem to limit the length of the

on of drivers to included in is mostly done through the
kernel package, not the installer packages.
Please open a bug against "src:linux" requesting that this driver is
built and included in the installer. We'll fix it unstable first, and
can then possibly fix it in an update to buster.
Linux 5.4 introduces an in-kernel jitter-entropy implementation for
systems without a usable hardware RNG, which should remove the need for
haveged.
We could possibly cherry-pick that change on to 5.3, to avoid the need
for further changes to haveged packaging.

using a
netboot image, and can be caused by either (a) old netboot image or (b)
broken mirror. If that's right, we should recommend (a) make sure your
netboot image is current (b) if it is, then try another mirror,
recommending deb.debian.org.
Also, this should be an error mess
fixed before changing that.) So this
does not help with the problem of slow boots due to the kernel not
accounting enough entropy.

that actually means completely removing packages which are very buggy,
not just removing old versions.
Old versions may still be available in a different suite that you have
as an APT source, or might not have been decrufted yet.

is supposed to get it ?
It's in scsi-modules--di now. (I know it's not a SCSI driver,
but that's where we currently put miscellaneous storage drivers.)
The netboot installer should install that package and then trigger
loading of the module.
Have you updated the netboot
ice, or mapped as a virtual device, to create an
"installation disk".
