Teach `rndctl -L' to update the seed file, not just delete it.

The seed file is updated by entering the old seed into the system and
then hashing the old seed together with data from /dev/urandom, and
writing it atomically with write-to-temporary/rename-to-permanent.

This way, interruption by crash or power loss does not obliterate
your persistent entropy (unless it causes file system corruption).
