4.3 doesn't have "device random", or any way of building without it.
How is it changing the speed of your boot?

I've actually just done a 4.3 CD upgrade, but not from 4.2, and it
worked.  Can you give the modification times of your libcrypto and ssh,
and make sure you're executing /usr/bin/ssh.  And the output of 'ld
/usr/bin/ssh'.

Perhaps truss an ssh to a host and disconnect immediately.  It
might be failing after trying to open or read from /dev/urandom.  Can
you give the output of 'ls -l /dev/*random'?

Maybe someone will have something useful to go on from the information
above instead of "it doesn't work".
