Public bug reported: right now, seed_random is running in 'cloud_init_modules'. The reason for that was to ensure that it ran before the ssh config module (which writes the ssh keys).
The problem is that cloud_init_modules is not guaranteed to have network access, and we're running 'pollinate -q', which depends on network. the result is that if you seed an image (cloud-localds) or use config-drive, pollinate will/may run before network is available.
