    So I guess you have removed the package sysv-init, because, at
least its /etc/inittab isn't the same as Busyboxe's.

    It's a significant (and very interesting) hack of the init system,
which might deserve to be packaged. But I tend to consider it is not
exactly waht could be called "using a distro". It is, IMHO, as long as
it isn't packaged, a big hack.
