[Bug 1098299] Re: entropy pool should be seeded earlier in boot process

[Colin Watson]

initscripts currently contains no Upstart jobs, and arguably shouldn't.
I suspect that we may need to put the converted urandom job in the
upstart package, though it's worth checking with James and/or Steve.

I've added a couple of tasks for installer packages, because these need
to ensure that the entropy pool from installation is saved for first
boot.  This should significantly improve the entropy available at first
boot, which is probably poorer than necessary right now.
