This only happens when there is a config file that sets BUSYBOX=y.  You
can find that config file with:

    grep -r BUSYBOX=y /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs-tools.conf \
	/usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf-hooks.d

If it's the one in /etc, that's user error, otherwise it's a bug in whichever package owns the file.

Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature.
