core-image-full-cmdline (and the packagegroup it uses, packagegroup-core-full-
cmdline) should give you the former, and the full tools will in almost all 
cases take precedence simply by being installed by virtue of the alternatives 
system. In order to actually remove busybox though you'd need to break apart 
packagegroup-core-boot (i.e. include its constituent parts separately into 
your image instead of the packagegroup itself).

Cheers,
Paul
