The relevant Ubuntu bug report is
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1622893
This issue is apparently triggered by a change in gnutls which now uses
getrandom() instead of reading from /dev/urandom directly. This makes it
less suitable for early boot.

@GnuTLS maintainers: would you consider cherry-picking those patches?
