Hi Niels,

Both `debhelper` (in compat 14) and `debputy` (in some integration
modes) will emit a `Commands` field to any package with an executable in
`/usr/bin`.

The field was introduced to solve #638517.

I was preparing a patch for this. Just one quick question: is this applicable 
for udebs as well?

I tried locally with netcfg. The answer is yes. MR sent.

Thanks for catching that.



Best regards,
Niels

That is a mistake on my part. The `udeb`s should not have this field, as it will not be useful and just make the `udeb` larger. I will correct that.
