Heh, lots of silence in this thread lately. I can only guess that means the package does its job rather well 
I'll keep this post short too. BusyBox 1.19.3 got released today, head over to http://www.busybox.net to see its changes. Busybox-power has also been updated: 1.19.3power1 can be found in extras-{devel,testing}. Please give the package in extras-testing a vote up if it works well for you.
Also, busybox-power has crossed the 100.000 downloads mark this week (source)! Thanks to everybody for their feedback and support!

I installed busybox-power several days ago - GREAT work! Still enjoyng using all features.
Just encountered one minor issue - in the morning my N900 was showing there is Maemo5 update ;-)
when clearly there is and never will be more updates to our beloved N900.
Can this possibly be related to busybox-power package?

Might have been asked here alerady. Does this BB version have any valid flags with the 'ping' command? -h even seems not to work.
@zlatko
There is a maemo update! (1.3.1) to fix a securiity problem.

The latest busybox-power does not seem to have ping applet. If it helps I have the ping program from the package iputils-ping. This package maybe found in devtools repository.

I have found a bug in BB-P. In the last version of BackupMenu Robbie was kind enough to add a framebuffer console. This allows you to access the console through BM. One problem...
Without BB-P it works fine.
With BB-P it gets as far as asking for your username then crashes back to the BM main menu when you press return (to enter your username). It gives the error: "applet not found". This is the BB error for when a BB applet has been called but does not exist. Useually the name of the erroneously called applet is given in the error (foobar: applet not found). With BB-P installed there is no name supplied.
I can confirm it is the BB-P package as if I remove it (apt-get uninstall) then try root console again it works, re-install, it fails.
The last line in BM when console is selected is:
I assume BB then has to run 'login' or 'logon' or whatever and it is somehow failing. I don't really know my understanding of how a new shell is spawned is a bit...uh...thin.

Edit: I just saw your edit. I'm glad that you've already figured it out yourself. Note that the --reinstall command wasn't necessary
