Bug Description

systemd unit service has hardcoded value for rng-device (/dev/hwrng), and dont use HRNGDEVICE or RNGDOPTIONS defined in /etc/default/rng-tools

I propose:
------ /lib/systemd/system/rng-tools.service ------
- ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rngd -r /dev/hwrng -f
+ # Read configuration variable file if it is present
+ EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/rng-tools
+ ExecStart=/usr/sbin/rngd -f -r $HRNGDEVICE $RNGDOPTIONS
------

* Checked on ubuntu 20.04 (focal)
