Yes, that is what I understood from the discussion, we would just need to:

1. remove the conditional dependencies on busybox in all packages;

2. add a conditrional dependency in busybox for each package of which
   busybox may install an applet;

3. use the install-noclobber rule;

4. drop the BUSYBOX_NOCLOBBER_INSTALL hook.

Yann E. MORIN.
