I did not proposed to remove `-a' && `-o' support, did i?
Proposition is to not have this things in dash's built-in `test`.
Where
* `dash` is a fast and small POSIX compliant shell;
* POSIX doesn't require `test` or any other utility to be built-in;
+ proposition has fallback to external `test`
* early userspace problem, where `/usr/bin/test` (on NFS/LVM whatever)
isn't available, wasn't in visioning of POSIX at all;
+ as `initramfs-tools' has `busybox` anyway, there's no problem to
install shell's `test` checking stub and /bin/test or
`/bin/busybox test` as fallback *if needed*.

I see no technical problems. No linda/python or any other tools, that
add more needless complexity required.
