We know that Ubuntu Cloud images must function in entropy-poor environments;
that's why we ship pollinate by default.  If this particular delay is due to
cloud-init (or something it invoked) consuming entropy in early boot and
blocking, that is a problem, even if we do resolve the lack of an in-kernel
entropy source for this particular image and use case.

I don't think I have ever seen the boot delay Mathieu is reporting, even
using the same image.  So we're dependent on him to provide a reproducer.
