BusyBox does not generate cmd: providers on Alpine.  I believe we
should use an explicit provider (like /bin/which) instead of a magic
one.

Would the /bin/which concept be okay?

Adding cmd:which to build-tools doesn't seem like a bad idea to me, but
I just wanted to note here that if i3lock needs to be maintained in
packages.git I can do so since I use it daily.
