Note that ekeyd can export entropy via the EGD protocol, so one key is
often enough for smallish sites: it can provide entropy to multiple
hosts.

I just stuck them at <http://www.esperi.org.uk/~nix/temporary/ekeyd-patches-1.1.2.tar.gz>
in the form of a quilt series file and a bunch of patches. You almost certainly do *not*
want the first (build.diff): it's just local build system tweaks. The rest are of wider
interest (mostly speedups, and one new feature, KeyBadness support).
