Yes, for the following reasons:
1) it is only likely to confuse other users
2) the breakage is mostly completely outside our control
3) listings would be highly unreliable because of the turnover speed of
   unstabe (we'd miss most issues and run the risk of issues not getting
   cleaned up when the are resolved)
4) installing sid directly really isn't that good an idea and _always_ has
   the risk of failure attached; just don't do it if you're unprepared to
   deal that

That's a known issue with busybox that would also have hit you if you'd 
installed sid directly. Again more a reason to _not_ install sid directly 
than anything else.
Downgrading busybox and rebuilding your initrd should fix it.
