You got me!  In my previous build I just had libubootenv and that appeared
to work for my dunfell build somehow even that release shows
fw_printenv/fw_setenv to be in the libubootenv-bin package too.  Weird.

But putting libubootenv-bin in my build did make the bins included in my
rootfs now.  So one mystery solved.

Thank you!
