well the patch description is different to the patch itself.
kinit is not used in initramfs-tools and is not removed in
the patch below, what you remove are dash and minips from klibc-utils.

no this patch has the same fundamental problems than the one
that was merged for 0.85d.
* ugly: once busybox has a busybox --list, there would be no need
to invoke tail, tr, sed and grep.
* wrong: the busybox counterparts to the klibc-utils are not functinality
equivalent. as written in the changelog documenting the revert for
example sleep doesn't take subsecond args. quite sure that there is
other breakage too as experienced by the sheer number of boot failures of
0.85d.
