[yocto] Busybox sh link

Hello all

I have a question regarding busybox and sh. If I want to install bash together with busybox ash, yocto does not consider the ALTERNATIVE_PRIORITY in each case (e.g. if bash is installed before busybox). The problem is that do_install of busybox creates a link to busybox.nosuid. Is there a reason for that? Shouldn't update-alternatives create that link for us? There is already a patch available that targets this problem (467b19efbaa9c0cb04d2665e8cd9a0919849a5ed ) but it only works if ash is completely disabled in the busybox config.

So the main question is, wouldn't it be possible to remove this lines completely?

Regards,
Stefan
