Well I guess not only for Debian :).... or at least for all complying
with FHS.

Well what I meant is: Take the /boot dir _ON_ the root-fs, even if the actual one is on another device.

Either it is on the rootfs,... then no problem anyways. If not: Store
the seed file in the /boot dir on the root-fs. It's there very early.
And write the seed file (on shutdown) after /boot (if any) has been
unmounted...
Of course the read-only problem would remain...
