Title:
  u-boot-tools missing binutils dependency

Status in u-boot package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in u-boot source package in Bionic:
  New
Status in u-boot source package in Cosmic:
  New

Bug description:
  The u-boot-tools package, specifically the mkknlimg script within it,
  relies upon several external utilities (specifically perl, grep, tr,
  and strings). Whilst most are provided by "essential" packages,
  strings is provided by binutils which is not. On a fresh install of
  the RPi3 beta image, an upgrade involved u-boot succeeds, but
  nonetheless prints a warning that strings cannot be found.
