anonymous irc log:
<a> initramfs-tools uses busybox internally.  Rather than having a massive
    symlink farm, it uses the busybox shell option that tells it to try to
    use internal modules rather than external ones:
    CONFIG_FEATURE_SH_STANDALONE_SHELL=y
<b> debian/config-static:CONFIG_FEATURE_SH_STANDALONE_SHELL=y
     the default config don't have a shell

for third party readers ;)
no patch needed from busybox side for initramfs.
