[Bug 1990941] Re: libevent 2.1.12-stable-5 FTBFS on kinetic

[Benjamin Drung]

Instead of patching libevent to use its own arc4random functions, I
prefer to do a library transition to drop evutil_secure_rng_add_bytes.
"reverse-depends -b libevent-dev" shows 79 packages.

** Summary changed:

- libevent 2.1.12-stable-5 FTBFS on kinetic
+ [FFe] libevent 2.1.12-stable-5 FTBFS on kinetic
