It would probably be better to write a Juju charm for secure network
setup and distribution of a real entrophy source, and promote that as
the preferred low-entrophy solution for Ubuntu Cloud; eg:
http://www.entropykey.co.uk/
http://packages.ubuntu.com/ekeyd
http://packages.ubuntu.com/ekeyd-egd-linux
This source does it right(tm). Real randomness, tested, validated,
checked, signed and encrypted before even leaving the USB interface.
Plus, it happens to be made by some certain Debian developers (*also
former Canonical employees) who know what they're doing.
