random number generator daemon - seed kernel random from hwrng
This daemon feeds data from a random number generator to the kernel's
random number entropy pool, after first checking the data to ensure
that it is properly random.
By default, a hardware rng at /dev/hwrng is used as entropy source.
This daemon is part of the rng-tools, which can be found at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel/
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/kernel/rng-tools/rng-tools.git

Start script is kept as simple as possible, as this one runs rather
early and does not need much.
The link default of "S00" in rc.d is intentional. rc-once is S01 by
default and triggers things like ssh key generation. So while in
other cases I would have set rngd to something around S10, it has to
squeeze in before rc-once. As there are no udev depends (the other
S00), being a kernel provided device, this should be ok.
Placing the daemon in /sbin also follows this fact, beside its
very system-near function.

Thanks, applied. I've changed the prefix to /usr. That's what Debian is
using and I didn't see a reason not to use that as well.

Fine with me. Choosing /sbin was more a traditionalist thing. And as
even Debian is going with /usr/sbin, lets welcome this new epoch ;-)
Thanks for applying,
Andreas
