printf is a shell builtin of debian's ash:
$ /bin/ash
$ type printf
printf is a shell builtin
$ exit
no need to bloat busybox with it.

busybox ash also breaks powerpc. its obviously not ready for prime

in boot-floppies to see if it works with busybox ash, we know they
work with Herbert's ash just fine.
