.. Because the hidding magic in the Makefile is broken. The config
option is called BR2_BUSYBOX_VERSION_1_9_X instead of 1_9_1 for a

Exactly - Just like all the other packages we have.

Buildroot lives and evolves over time (and it has to). If you want a
static config, just don't change your buildroot snapshot.
