You have already been needing 4 lines of config options for dependencies
(CAT & SLEEP & ECHO & SH) of a 3-line script applet (nologin).
How can we guarantee that there would be no more
dependency hell if more script applets are brought in to busybox?
That's the problem.
And that's why I'm against the idea of configurable script applets.
