Verification for groovy:
I took a 20.10 VM with current pollinate 4.33-3ubuntu1, and after
booting, pollinate.service is in state failed as per the bug
description.
I then updated to 4.33-3ubuntu1.20.10.1. The package update auto-
restarted pollinate.service, and it looked successful:
# systemctl status pollinate
● pollinate.service - Pollinate to seed the pseudo random number generator

It does not have RemainAfterExit=, so that is as expected. I rebooted
the VM, and the unit skipped cleanly, again as expected:
# systemctl status pollinate

Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/pollinate.service; enabled; vendor
preset: enabled)

└─ ConditionPathExists=!/var/cache/pollinate/seeded was not met
Docs: https://launchpad.net/pollinate
Feb 16 06:06:58 ubuntu systemd[1]: Condition check resulted in Pollinate
to seed the pseudo random number generator being skipped.
# ls -l /var/cache/pollinate/
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 pollinate daemon 0 Feb 16 06:03 seeded
Now let's re-try the cleanup:
# rm -rf /var/cache/*
# reboot
This causes the shutdown process to last a little longer, presumably
because running daemons got their files ripped away underneath them, but
it does succeed. After it came back up, pollinate.service once again ran
successfully like above.
