I guess my opion doesn't count, but if I would need a rescuedisk, I
would like to have a disk with an application that is designed for
recover data and use that for analyzing the zipfile, not an unzipper
that just ignores errors.

I would expect busybox unzip fail early, so you know at an earlier stage
when you should find that data recovery tool. I wouldn't expect busybox
unzip even try to analyze whats wrong and try to find out a way to fix
broken things. There are other tools (that should be on the recovery
disk) that handles that.

would it be possible to have an --ignore-errors like runtime option?
