Severity: grave
Justification: breaks d-i
Version: 1:0.60.4-1

Seems like the last upload of busybox broke cp -a, it doesn't copy
symlinks any more:

The bug is fixed but not closed because it was fixed by a non
maintainer upload more than 3 years ago.

There are indeed 5 bugs that have been fixed by NMUs and never ACK'ed
later.

Closing them....thanks for pointing us to this.
