Do you use systemd as init? I think systemd stores the seed in
/var/lib/systemd/random-seed instead, does that one get updated?

> Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)

The second reporter does use systemd, so I suppose that would be why the
init script updating /var/lib/urandom/random-seed is never run.
