[Bug 1814930] [NEW] u-boot-tools missing binutils dependency

[Dave Jones]

Public bug reported:

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.
