I am open to suggestions on exactly what you want things to like like for
woody. With the latest busybox, all symlinks are relative one. Therefore, I
was thinking I would just create the normal hierarchy, but instead of under /
put everything under /usr/lib/busybox. Sound agreeable? So you could simply
extract /usr/lib/busybox from busybox.#.deb and mv /usr/lib/busybox/* to the
target. All the other junk (docs, manpages, etc) would be ignored. Does this
sound agreeable?
