Ok, what exactly is the problem here. I mean, we shipped the current
setup with jessie and I don't remember any entropy related bug reports.
I installed systemd on my PI without problems.
What exactly happens/can happen, if we don't (pre)initialize the random
seed? Do you have any bug reports, which are still valid with modern
Linux kernels?
