It appears that busybox-cvs was only uploaded once and only included in
the Debian 3.1 "sarge" release. It was then obsoleted by newer
versions of busybox, but that didn't build the transitional packages
needed to cause an automatic upgrade.
But I think it is now much to late to do anything about this.
