@Md: if you are really unwilling to change the shebang line of your scripts,
despite every other argument, please tell me so, and I will close this bug
with an mksh upload; feel free to ignore this for udev then.

Indeed.

[ udev should change shebang ]

Yeah, but I can’t really convince Md to do so. If you can, you’re welcome.

True.

So the solution is not with coreutils, but either with udev (preferred) or
with mksh including a huge SLOB of foreign code that is printf… I don’t
like the latter, floating point and stdio, it’ll make mksh much bigger,
but I’ll leave it as an option (I wonder what to do for Lenny though,
where changing the shebang in udev would be acceptable, but adding whole
new functionality to mksh probably not).

Do d-i and initrd/initramfs images run udev as well? (In other words, would
I need to add a hypothetical printf SLOB to mksh-small and mksh-klibc as
well if I’d like to continue to offer them as busybox-ash and sh-klibc re-
placements?)
