(Get the code!)
It's not as simple as that. Busybox's fsck applet is only the frontend that calls filesystem-specific fsck implementations, and those implementations are not included in Busybox (rightly so, IMO - I wouldn't want to have to deal with data-loss bugs caused by skew between the standard tools and reimplementations in Busybox).
If we want to include repair facilities in the initramfs (which might well be a good idea), we'll need to arrange for initramfs-tools to copy the appropriate fsck implementation into the initramfs, as well as enabling this applet.
