Was VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_base-utils meant to be a single word?
I just noticed that toybox does not provide a /bin/sh out-of-the-box,
and even when enabled the resulting sh is not complete enough to execute
initramfs-framework scripts.
That means that VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_base-utils = "toybox" leads to an
unusable initramfs when replacing "busybox" with
${VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_base-utils} in initramfs-framwork.
This could be fixed by setting
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_base-utils = "toybox dash"
but then the patch above needs to be fixed.
