Hi Ludo,

> we don=E2=80=99t know beforehand what commands a package provides.

Indeed, this information becomes available only while/after
a package is built.

> For that we=E2=80=99d need to resort to an external service providing thi=
s info.

Why would it need to be an external service? Can't you incorporate
this information in a data file that you ship as part of the
distribution?
