I'm still planning to revap the random initscript and throw some infra
there.
Who says we can't use /etc/default + /etc/config for this? We can tell
where to write randomness if it's available that way.
On the project side we can choose if we'll use a per-project (build
time) random seed or nothing at all, after all we can't know every
scenario out there.
