This doesn't quite match what I'm seeing by comparing old and new links in
the postinst:

$ diff then now
44c44,45
< update-alternatives --install /bin/sh sh /bin/busybox.nosuid 50
---

Note the two lines installing an alternative of /bin/sh to busybox.suid.

Assuming they should have alternative links installed, the following
applets are still disabled too:

 chrt
 cttyhack
 init
 mdev
 setsid
 partprobe
