I don't think userland package maintainers should be expected to support anything older than the kernel version in the last stable release. If users really want that to work they should be responsible for relaxing the dependency in a way that the maintainer accepts. > libqt5core5a should abort with a clear error message in the preinst > on kernels < 3.17. > > 2. disable QT_CONFIG(getentropy) in Qt in buster This would presumably be the simplest approach; it's theoretically less secure but in practice it's exceedingly unlikely to be a problem. > 3. implement a fallback in Qt glibc now implements getentropy() and getrandom(), with fallbacks on aolder kernel versions. So I think that you could remove Qt's implementation of getentropy() and have it call glibc's instead. (But I haven't looked at the Qt code in question; it might not be quite as simple as that.) > 4. backport getrandom to the jessie kernel > getrandom is only ~ 20 LOC plus some syscall wiring, so if anyone wants > to convince/pay the Debian LTS team to backport that to the jessie > kernel it should be doable. [...] I don't think this meets the stable update criteria. In itself it wouldn't fix any weakness of the RNG.
