Axel Beckert is working on providing busybox-* binary packages:

  http://bugs.debian.org/#537623

I suggested that the same should be applied to at least udhcpc and thus
I will take care of the udhcp source package: in one way or another it
will be removed from the archive, since it duplicates code for no real
reason.
