Eric Andersen e2f6e12213 More pristine source directory updates. It now works
for me (including doing install).  How about you?

Section: utils
Description: Tiny utilities for small and embedded systems.
BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for the most common
utilities you would usually find on your desktop system (i.e. ls, cp, mv,
mount, tar, etc). The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than
their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included
provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU
counterparts.
.
This package installs the BusyBox binary but does not install symlinks
for any of the supported utilities. You can use /bin/busybox --install
to install BusyBox to the current directory (you do not want to do this
in / on your Debian system!).

BusyBox-static provides you with a statically linked simple stand alone shell
that provides all the utilities available in BusyBox. This package is
intended to be used as a rescue shell, in the event that you screw up your
system. Invoke "busybox sh" and you have a standalone shell ready to save
your system from certain destruction. Invoke "busybox", and it will list the
available builtin commands.

Section: debian-installer
Description: Tiny utilities for the debian-installer and for embedded systems.

BusyBox is used by the debian-installer. Installing BusyBox onto your Debian
system is not recommended, unless you are intended to make a very small
embedded system. Chances are good that for embedded systems, you will want to
recompile to only include the tools and utilities you wish to include.
