note that the version in debian is outdated. At least a dozend bugs that
are filed against the busybox package of debian are fixed upstream,
lenny should really ship with a current version (of course there is
already a bug about this, ping the d-i folks to update the package, we
will try our best to iron out any bugs the d-i might run into).

thanks,
