Package: busybox
Version: 1:1.10.2-2
Severity: wishlist
User: pkg-fso-maint at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: package-dependencies

Hello,

this bug originates on on the smartphones-standards mailing list [1] and
I expect this should be the case for all embedded device where every
single kB matters.

Basically, while the Debian FSO Team [2] is ATM against a full switch to
busybox alternatives, the end-user should be able to do it.

However, udhcp has been removed from busybox starting with version
20040507-3, as explained at bug #220652 [3].  Can you please re-add it
for the .deb package?

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
