Details

During the "Removing Leftover Files" phase, all contents but directories under /var/run get deleted, including the random-seed file.

Actually, I don't know how important is the quality of urandom, since this is not a distro for commercial banking servers anyway... :D

It looks like the random seed could get initialized before that cleanup.
This task depends upon
