Maybe this should be done explicitly on a command basis rather than have
a system wrapper which redirect all outputs to stderr, otherwise we can't
redirect the error output of the various commands included in the busybox
executable. Why don't just start dbootstrap with:

    exec dbootstrap 2>/dev/tty3
