There are a few packages in base and quite a number in packages feed that replace busybox applets with full versions of the applicable command(s).
This patch series implements a common infrastructure for consistent behavior. Basically the full version is configure to install into a non-conflicting location (e.g. if busybox is in /bin then full is /usr/bin and vice versa) and the busybox symlink replace with a symlink to the full version. On uninstall the symlink to the full version is replaced by a symlink to the busybox applet. This avoids the situation where installing and then uninstalling a full version results in a broken system due to missing busybox symlinks, as well as taking care of full versions not actually getting used due to PATH pointing to the busybox version version.
