Eric Andersen f12724c21a The build depends were too strict. I depended on on debhelper (>= 2.0.80)
while debhelper 1.1.24 is available for slink.  Just forget the dependancy --
it isn't needed.

Section: utils
Description: Tiny utilities for the debian-installer and for embedded systems.
BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for the most common
utilities you would usually find on your desktop system (i.e. ls, cp, mv,
mount, tar, etc). The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than
their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included
provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU
counterparts.
.
BusyBox is used by the debian-installer. Installing BusyBox onto your Debian
system is not recommended, unless you are intended to make a very small embedded
system. Chances are good that for embedded systems, you will want to recompile
to only include the tools and utilities you wish to include.

Section: shells
Description: Provides a stand alone rescue shell with tons of builtin utilities.
BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for the most common
utilities you would usually find on your desktop system (i.e. ls, cp, mv,
mount, tar, etc). The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than
their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included
provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU
counterparts.
.
BusyBox-static provides you with a statically linked simple stand alone shell
that provides all the utilities available in BusyBox. This package is
intended to be used as a rescue shell, in the event that you screw up your
system. Invoke "busybox sh" and you have a standalone shell ready to save
your system from certain destruction. Invoke "busybox", and it will list the
available builtin commands.
