nl is from textutils, it isnt in busybox, but it wouldnt be hard to do
all it does is number the text lines so head and tail work, there is
probably a better way to do it, but i havent written shell scripts for a
while, so i just tried to get something that works.
control is just the control file from within the package to be
extracted.
I dont have cvs upload access at debian, i could upload it to busybox's
cvs if Erik wants it.
