- Subject changed from CNF not found in Ubuntu cloned repository to Add support for Ubuntu comand-not-found (CNF) indices
It looks like Commands-amd64 is a new type of metadata file used by Ubuntu repos, that pulp_deb does not currently support. (This is the first time I have heard of this type of file.)
As such, this ticket is essentially a feature request, and I have reformulated it as such!
Note: I have found the following statement regarding this feature: "Starting with Ubuntu Focal (20.04), the APT client expects APT sources to provide command-not-found (cnf) metadata files."

There are three different meta data types not being sync’d as of Ubuntu 20.04:
- cnf - command-not-found (apt purge command-not-found will remove this)
- i11n - translation files (echo ‘Acquire::Languages "none";’ > /etc/apt.conf.d/99translations)
- appstream - (apt purge appstream will remove but it disables installs from GUI app store)
I included how to work around if you are okay with forgoing apt install recommendations with cnf, translation files with i11n, and App Store installs with appstream.

There is a open issue for translation files: https://pulp.plan.io/issues/8734
I will have a look at the other type you mentioned.

appstream is the “DEP-11” folder in main for Ubuntu Focal Fossa.

Also hitting this issue. Is there a timeframe for implementation?

No timeframe as of yet I am afraid. I will throw this ticket into our internal triage and see what happens.
As I understand this is just a Warning, so the workaround is to ignore the issue and carry on without CNF indices.
