While this works on installed system, it will fail on installer.

Bastian,

Could you take a look how much space it would take to enable bzip2
support on busybox? I've checked and it's disabled by now.

otavio@neumann:~/busybox-1.1.3$ grep BZIP2 debian/config-udeb 
# CONFIG_FEATURE_TAR_BZIP2 is not set

I think this is critical for we commit, or not, this patch.
