This is definitely used by the Postfix tlsmgr process

How'd you determine that?

Easy.  I read the documentation and the source code. :)

and it is specifically set on all Linux builds I do to be dev:/dev/
urandom.

And who set it?  There is no such setting on my FreeBSD systems.

It gets set automatically when building Postfix if it is a known platform that supports those devices and TLS is enabled. It's fairly quick to discern if you read the code.
