Commit 6dc5c7ff changed how the /etc/dropbear symlink is detected, by using
readlink to resolve the target location. When using coreutils's readlink,
"readlink -f /etc/dropbear" will return /var/run/dropbear. However, if using
busybox's readlink, the same "readlink -f /etc/dropbear" returns an empty
string. I am not sure if this is a bug in the /etc/init.d/S50dropbear script,
or if busybox is not honoring the "-f" flag.
