I would argue that haveged reduces your security because it makes
/dev/random (a supposedly-secure source of entropy) behave like
/dev/urandom which is supposed to be sufficiently-random yet not
secure for things like generating keys.

You should use the right tool for the right job: use /dev/random for
keys (and let it take 20 minute if necessary) and /dev/urandom for
other uses.
