Title:
  Linux boot parameters are not taken to busybox environment

Status in busybox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  With busybox 1.27.2 (18.04 installer system), my kernel command line
  parameters that contain "/" or "-" are stripped and not in
  environment, anymore (e.g. keyboard-configuration/modelcode=SKIP).
  Furthermore, the parameters are not pushed into debconf database by
  script env2debconf (where I would need them).

  I found this already fixed in busybox, here is the commit:
  https://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/shell/ash.c?id=9c143ce52da11ec3d21a3491c3749841d3dc10f0

  Here is the issue:
  https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=10231

  I tested this by patching ash.c (patch is attached), building it and
  integrated into initrd.gz - works, parameters are in environment,
  again.

  It would be fine if this patch could get into busybox package for
  18.04.
