Buster startup is blocked for minutes long



Hi,

I was trying to build buster and run it on Google Cloud and I noticed that it was taking a long time to boot (around 180 seconds, and not the usual 15 seconds like stretch takes). In the end I noticed it was chrony and its getrandom() call being blocked due to lack of system entropy.

I provided better details on a chrony bug report, but I just wanted to report on this list to avoid other being caught up by surprise (and it looks like I'm the first one noticing it for buster):

Is somebody else trying buster on other cloud providers? Please note that chrony was not used on stretch, rather it was ntpd.
