Which is why if you look on http://people.debian.org/~andersee/
you will see
busybox_0.48pre-1_i386.deb
busybox_0.48pre-1_i386.udeb
busybox-static_0.48pre-1_i386.deb
I was thinking you wanted an additional busybox-bf_0.48pre-1_i386.deb that had
just the set of apps that are contained in the current boot-floppies package.
The binary in busybox_0.48pre-1_i386.deb has _everything_ turned on and is
about 260k -- probably not what you want...

Since I'm assuming you want a package with a very select group of apps
installed...
