You've convinced me that this isn't a good way to handle the change. What I intend to do is to add a third option, BUSYBOX=auto, with the old semantics of BUSYBOX=y, and make that the default. On upgrade you may be prompted to resolve conflicts in the configuration file, but otherwise nothing will break. In the case that there are configuration hooks that set BUSYBOX=y, mkinitramfs will still refuse to create a broken initramfs.
