Control: tags -1 -confirmed -patch +wontfix Control: retitle -1 busybox-static: always prefers applets when chrooting This is desired behaviour for the busybox-static package, and I can't think of any documentation changes that could make this clearer. For the benefit of others who may stumble across this bug: The standard and preferred package for use on a standard Debian system is 'busybox'. 'busybox-static' will also work just as well inside the initramfs, but is designed to be used as a rescue tool if fundamental components of your system, such as your C library, as broken. To facilitate this busybox-static always prefers to run its own applets, including dpkg, rather than the system-supplied binaries; if your system is sufficiently broken that you are running busybox ash, it's a safe assumption that your system tools are also hosed.
