Hi Otavio,

Maybe there's some misunderstanding here.
To be clear, patch 1 and patch 2 do two different things.
Patch 1 removes postinst, it has nothing to do with patch 2, which fix 
busybox.inc to support the FEATURE_INDIVIDUAL.
And after this patch (patch 1), the tree is not broken. The busybox 
still works as it has been working so far.

And I just did a simple test to confirm this. On the lastest master, I 
removed the postinst part of busybox.inc, and built a 
core-image-minimal, it worked out well. Here's some output.
root at qemuarm:~# ls -l /bin/ | grep busybox
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            12 Jun 18 01:31 ash -> /bin/busybox
-rwsr-xr-x    1 root     root        556824 Jun 18 01:27 busybox
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            12 Jun 18 01:31 cat -> /bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            12 Jun 18 01:31 chattr -> 
/bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            12 Jun 18 01:31 chgrp -> 
/bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            12 Jun 18 01:31 chmod -> 
/bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            12 Jun 18 01:31 chown -> 
/bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            12 Jun 18 01:31 cp -> /bin/busybox
....
