This sort of thing, as we've seen previously in classic oe, doesn't
really scale very well since everyone's requirements for busybox are
subtly different.  Others will doubtless disagree but, personally, I
think it would be best for you to just maintain a busybox.conf in your
own distro layer which sets it up the way that you want.

Agreed, it seems silly to declare the file as a CONFFILE if we aren't
shipping it in the first place.
