[OE-core] [PATCH] busybox: fix upgrade problem with deb packages

[Aníbal Limón]

Andreas,

Now i'm testing dpkg-ua changes, my first impressions are,

Some work in order to use dpkg-ua version instead of opkg-utils (default),
files meta/conf/layer.con and 
meta/recipes-core/packagegroups/packagegroup-self-hosted.bb.

Currently isn't created symlinks for tools in target image.

Comments?

Best regards.
