I fixed the bug here. Basically, I'd like this cronjob to run once
per hour, at a regular interval, on every client that installs this
package. However, I'd like to spread the load evenly on the entropy
server, so that every single client doesn't hit the server at the same
minute. So at package installation time (postinst), I'd like this
particular install of the client to randomly choose the minute upon
which it runs.
