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.
