Ive just gone through the applets debian provides via our shellutils,
textutils and fileutils directories, comparing to the equivalents as
provided by coreutils.

extra == applets busybox provides that arent in upstream, parethesis
indicate upsteam package to which they belong.
not provided == upstream command doesnt have a busybox applet

shellutils
extra: cal (bsdmainutils), usleep, watch(procps)
not provided: factor, groups, nice, nohup, pathchk, pinky, printenv, seq,
users

textutils
extra: awk, cmp (diff), dos2unix/unix2dos (sysutils), length,
uuencode/uudecode (sharutils)
not provided: cksum, comm, csplit, expand, fmt, fold, nl, paste, pr, ptx,
split, sum, tac, tsort, unexpand

fileutils:
extra: none
need: vdir

All up coreutils provides 86 commands, of those busybox provides 60 of
them.
