Unfortunately, it's not the FAI team that has control of how the
dependencies are built.

With the standard toolset recommend by FAI(initrd-tools as they are,
nfs-kernel-server, nfsroot creation with make-fai-nfsroot), things
should work fine at least there wheren't major complaints until now.

I do not totally understand what's happening and why you're not just
going with the default settings and tools.

Why don't you like the nfsmount tool that comes with initrd-tools?
What exactly does not work for you with the standard busybox?

If things are missing there that are crucial to you, you should notify
th maintainers of these tools, so they can change their packages
accordingly.
