Subject: [PATCH] Try to make urandom more random using the proper seed.

If we follow the syntax here we think that previously, at shutdown, the seed file was created after urandom was re-seeded with its state at boot. This might make the state of urandom pretty similar to its state at last reboot. Even if it might not be the case since the /etc/init.d/rc script tells us that it stops services in reboot and shutdown runlevels.

If this patch does not makes the initscript called with argument start at boot and stop at shutdown, it will at least make things less confusing and give the correct names for the /etc/rc?.d/ links. But from what I understand, the initscript will not be called at all at shutdown because of the double start pervention in /etc/init.d/rc.
