Looks like neither the urandom init script nor systemd-random-seed unlink the file before writing to it, so this could potentially work unless that changes at some point. Just writing two different seeds avoids the need to care about what the implementations will do in the future so I think it is safer. Looking at systemd's documentation, on non-virtual systems d-i should probably also write to the random seed stored in the UEFI ESP, in case the user decides to use systemd-boot instead of initramfs-tools. https://systemd.io/RANDOM_SEEDS.html -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
