/etc/init.g/rngd is currently run "after random". I suppose that's because /dev/random is needed first. But that is provided by "dev", possibly. On my system there is no script called or providing "random". rngd may need to s/after random/after dev/. Reproducible: Always
i think it meant "urandom" because that takes care of restoring the initial seed
should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!
