busybox should be moved to local packages file instead of being hardcoded in chroot-script

busybox had some security vulnerabilities. I didn't check how severe these were …or how to exploit there. However, busybox doesn't seem to be a a critically required dependency for a fully functional image. At least if using dracut. So lets move it from being hardcoded in chroot-script to the local packages files. Happy to send a PR. Seems to be a trivial change. Waiting with the PR until https://github.com/grml/grml-debootstrap/pull/236 is merged otherwise there would be a merge conflict.

Sorry about the closed pull requests noise. I was attempting to make github a…ctions work in my personal (soft) fork (only for the purpose of contributing and carrying delta until merged here upstream). Previously I had pressed the github fork button. But apparently such repositories cannot run github actions. To have a "real" fork I deleted the repository, manually created and pushed. That fixed the github actions in my personal repository but had the unwanted side effects of closing all my prior pull requests here upstream. I am trying to figure out how to re-open these.
