Bug#815451: initramfs-tools: Fails to install without busybox (Depends vs Recommends)
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.123
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 7.2
Installation (processing triggers) fails if busybox is not installed:
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.123) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.3.0-1-amd64
E: busybox or busybox-static, version 1:1.22.0-17~ or later, is required but not installed
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-4.3.0-1-amd64 with 1.
dpkg: error processing package initramfs-tools (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
This is ultimately because initramfs-tools-core "Recommends" busybox or busybox-static,
instead of "Depends". ("The Depends field should also be used if the postinst or prerm
scripts require the depended-on package to be unpacked or configured in order to run.")
