pollinate 4.1-0ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

pollinate (4.1-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=low

  * pollinate, pollinate.1:
    - remove unused variable f2
    - add support for -n|--no-challenge argument
    - this technically makes it possible to use any arbitrary
      URL as an entropy server
      + e.g. random.org, news.google.com
    - document the option in the manpage
  * pollinate:
    - move CURL_OPTS to the end of the line, so that the admin can override
      any curl option, such as the user-agent string in /etc/default/pollinate

pollinate: seed the pseudo random number generator

 This client will connect to one or more Pollen (entropy-as-a-service)
 servers over an (optionally) encrypted connection and retrieve a random
 seed over HTTP or HTTPS.
 This is particularly useful at the first boot of cloud images and in
 virtual machines, to seed a system's random number generator at
 genesis, and is intended to supplement the /etc/init.d/urandom init script.
 It can be used on physical machines, as well, to supplement the seeding
 of the psuedo random number generator.
