I want to keep dpkg-deb for now so people can easily run

    dpkg-deb x [deb] /

ah, ok

What is the rationale for killing dpkg-query? This makes it a lot harder to figure out the package versions when encountering/bisecting a regression, and also causes autopkgtest to fail (bug 1469647). Snappy is still built from debs, and that won't change anytime soon, so dropping dpkg-query seems overzealous to me.

Is dpkg-query of any use if /var/lib/dpkg is not there anymore?
