Looking at the changelog, it was introduced in 2005 to fix #267935. If
it is not needed any more, lets drop it.  I very much welcome help
with writing a patch for this to get init.d/urandom moved earlier in
the boot.  Can you write a patch based on your insight with random.c?
Will it affect kFreeBSD and Hurd?

Happy hacking,
