You mean the way busybox.h has become a big mess of function declarations from 
unrelated applets, usage.h has become a big mess of help text from unrelated 
applets, applets.h has become a big mess of...

If the central places to do stuff are getting too ugly, then possibly it's 
time to start having "sed.h" with busybox.h being a big list of #includes of 
the smaller header files.  It's an open question whether or not that's 
cleaner...

I tend not to be reassured by checks that you can simply forget to add and the 
sucker works fine without it.
