Hi,

I have uploaded `debputy` to experimental with the `Commands` field if 
you want to do some early testing. The `debhelper` support will appear 
with the next upload of `debhelper` and then appear for any compat 14+ 
package.

```
# apt-cache show dh-debputy/experimental | grep ^Commands:
Commands: debputy, dh_debputy, dh_installdebputy
```

Best regards,
Niels
