    - Add busybox-initramfs.
    - Enable chpasswd in standard and static builds (needed by LXC).

    - Prefer busybox commands over klibc commands where there is duplication.
    - Add Ubuntu configuration for busybox binaries.
    - readlink-in-slash-bin.patch: move readlink to /bin.

  * Debian packaging changes:
    - Run wrap-and-sort -st.
    - Update debian/control:
      - Replace Uploaders with myself and Christoph Biedl. Many thanks to
        Bastian Blank and Michael Tokarev for having maintained busybox for
        many years prior.
      - Remove Build-Depends to avoid ancient broken libc-dev-bin.
      - Bump Build-Depends on debhelper to >= 10.
    - Rewrite debian/rules:
      - Simplify and use the dh sequencer.
      - Remove test for ancient broken libc6 versions with static binaries.
      - Strip -O2 from CFLAGS, falling back to -Os from the busybox
        configuration.
      - Abort the build if 'make oldconfig' changes the configuration at all.
    - Update busybox build configuration files for the new upstream release.
      - The udeb configuration mostly hasn't changed, but enable fgrep,
        blkdiscard, bzcat and lsscsi.
      - The deb and static configurations have had upstream recommendations
        enabled for new options.
    - Switch to debhelper compatibility level 10.
