What you suggest sounds reasonable to me.

I'm not Adam . . . . anyway we have discussed using udebs on b-f for
other things (dhcp clients) and I think the gerneral thought was that
we didn't want to. Not a whole lot of good reasons not to, mostly it
is just easier to keep pulling in debs. The path of least resistance
is to make busybox-bf.
I personally don't like the proliferation of -bf pacakges. I'd rather
the b-f build system build all packages from source, perhap seven
applying patches before-hand when necessary.
