Bug#454665: closed by maximilian attems <max@stro.at> (Re: initramfs-tools: busybox depends should include busybox-static)

[Maximilian Attems <max@stro.at>]

Dear Steve,

keeping that story short. I'm in the middle of a big initramfs-tools
backlog, the last message to that bug was 
Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2008 12:36:48 +0200

and was unresponded see:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=454665#32

your email also doesn't enlightem me if busybox-static usage
in initramfs does still spam the user with log messages of the type:
"Using fallback suid method"

how comes that the change that seems so important to you is not
worth a followup? or a proper fix in busybox if it is still the case?
(it might or might not be)

thank you
