busybox

["K. Richard Pixley" <rich.pixley@access-company.com>]

I'm confused about the busybox package.  I mean, I'm familiar with 
busybox and it's applications.  However, I'm wondering...

If there a reason why busybox should not be packaged in such a way as to 
provide a mutually exclusive alternative with the packages that it 
supplants such as coreutils?  It seems to me that intuitively, the 
busybox package should do exactly that, yet the package we have now does 
not.
