grep is only needed in the initramfs (see #528998) if BUSYBOX=n.
Otherwise, it's just 100KB of useless junk in the initramfs, which slows
down boot; since we configure busybox to prefer its own applets when
available, it isn't even used.
(I haven't tested this patch on Debian, only on Ubuntu, I'm afraid, but
it should be very quick to test; just try generating an initramfs with
both BUSYBOX=y and BUSYBOX=n, look at the contents of the initramfs with
'zcat initrd.img | cpio -itv | grep grep' to check whether grep is there
in each case.)
Thanks,
