Hi Wei,

I see busybox df implementation require mounting (unlike coreutils
implementation).

nit: As this is clearly completely unrelated change (but most of the git commit
message is in the description) it would be clearer to have it as a separate
change (as a previous commit, before adding packages).
+ mention in the commit message it's due busybox.
The subject of commit with ci/* changes could have prefix 'ci' (it's due
tst_format_device.sh, but you modify our CI).

nit: TST_MOUNT_DEVICE=1 implies TST_FORMAT_DEVICE=1 (not a mistake, but
TST_FORMAT_DEVICE=1 is not necessary).

Kind regards,
Petr
