Package: linux-image-cloud-amd64
Version: 4.18+99

The "HW_RANDOM_VIRTIO" configuration setting is not currently enabled in
the "cloud" flavour of kernel images.

KVM virtual machines set up by virt-manager (and possibly virt-install,
I'm not sure) come with a virtual random device like that by default,
and would benefit from the driver being available if they need a lot of
randomness.
