I had this initially but bc isn't enabled in busybox (anymore?).

These fall into the category of "Oh, I need to try without systemd".
I'll put those in and give it a spin.

This is in, but via a dep rather than explicit, so I'll list it.

Ah fbset, going off on a quick tangent, I see 2.1 from 1999 is still the
latest and greatest. Good times! I'm not sure if we should move fbset
to oe-core however. For netcat, we have netcat-openbsd in meta-oe which
is 'nc' and would match busybox saying CONFIG_NC=y and CONFIG_NETCAT=n.
For usleep, real sleep (and busybox sleep when configured) supports
decimals so I would be inclined to say sleep is good enough.
