This is because in order to use busybox applets, you have to call it either `busybox $applet_name', or to have a link with $applet_name to busybox binary. I deliberately removed the behind-the-scenes calling of busybox applets internally, when busybox executes itself without searching in $PATH as usual. Because this way, you can't control which implementation to invoke (busybox or external), and there are many alternatives. It is more, -- quite often when you use busybox together with another util, you may see surprizes. For example: busybox nc <host> <port> -e dd of=filename oflag=direct -- this fails, because busybox runs its own dd, which does not have `oflag' option at all. Ditto for tar and other utils. In order to fix the initrd issue with busybox.static, we need to use initramfs hook similar to what non-static version provides. Actually I'm not sure what to do here. I didn't think about using _static_ version of busybox in initramfs, it is not really intended for that purpose, but rather for some system repair work. So while I provided necessary setup for regular build to ensure initramfs works, I never thought about busubox-static in this context. But busybox and busybox-static conflicts and replaces one another, and initramfs-tools uses busybox by default if it is installed. So this breaks every system where busybox-static is installed, which is not good... So I think I'll just copy the same initramfs hook script to static package, at least for now, to fix this issue.
