[Bug 225333] [NEW] Should use /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random

Public bug reported:

libsasl2 in Dapper is configured to use /dev/random. As systems can run
out of entropy, this can cause applications that use libsasl2 to block.
Subsequent versions of libsasl2 (since 2.1.22-0~pre04) have been
configured to use /dev/urandom instead.

** Affects: cyrus-sasl2 (Ubuntu)
