The Debian installer udeb 'live-installer.udeb' uses the 'chdir' command
(instead of the more modern 'cd'), which is no longer provided by busybox 1.38.
Therefore it is not possible to use a live image to install Debian.
chdir was a non-standard extension in dash. This is a problem in
live-installer itself.
The reporter did say that in their original message.
Not sure why the above clone command didn't work, but let's have this as
RC to prevent busybox from migrating until live-installer is fixed.
