If /sbin/tune2fs is a link to /bin/busybox and e2fsprogs install process
overwrites it intead of deleting and then creating new /sbin/tune2fs,
then ALL /[s]bin/xxxx -> /bin/busybox links now point to tune2fs.
Including /sbin/init. When kernel runs /sbin/init, it runs tune2fs,
which prints help text or something and exits.
