Yes, there are a few recipes that do this (not dozens). There are far
more recipes that do not.

The given reasoning is essentially 'I can't be bothered to configure
busybox correctly and test my script with it in a systematic way',
which does rub me the wrong way. Usually executables are split to
avoid licensing issues in a product, avoid installing both client and
server, or to satisfy space constraints if there's no smaller
alternative - and in this case there is.

A change to the default busybox configuration in oe-core is a better
way out perhaps? Enable the needed options, and send a patch.
