Nope, it doesn't. (Just installed the Jackpal terminal emulator and tried it.)

To make android tolerable you need to root and install busybox.

Ok, well, but doesn't this kind of answer your original question? If you're doing this much work just to make Android tolerable, just how "Android" is your Android to begin with?

Presumably, a more GNU-like distribution (or, for that matter, pretty much any normal Linux distrubution, GNU-like or otherwise) wouldn't require a whole lot of tinkering and package manipulation to be "tolerable".
