Per #638517, we would like to add a `Commands` field to the `.deb`'s control file to support the "command-not-found" feature.

Ideally, `dpkg-gencontrol` would allow substitution variables in it. Optimally, `dpkg-gencontrol` would also optimize the field similar to what it does with `Depends` in case values are repeated (`Commands` can use a simpler merging since it is only basenames and not full blown dependency clause).

But for starters, just having `dpkg-gencontrol` not warn about the field and replacing substvars would be a great start for post-trixie.

Best regards,
Niels
