You need to remove the reference to VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_login_manager from 
the list of packages to be installed, not the definition that points to 
busybox. If the resulting image breaks, you get to keep the pieces. I'm 
not sure what function busyybox performs here, but oe-core does not have 
an alternative now - you are welcome to provide one.
