Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.99
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
A recent change to /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/busybox has removed the
"busybox" link form the resulting initrd /bin. The current version installes
busybox as "/bin/sh", but that precludes the usage of other tools for which
there is no link created (e.g. "busybox grep" or "busybox basename").
This breaks scripts relying on /bin/busybox to work, as well as reduces the
debugging possibilities afforded by the inclusing of busybox in the first place.
A simple patch to revert the change (tested with latest sid) -- note that it
does not increase the size of the resulting initrd:
