[Bug 1616593] Re: ziomon: Packaging needs to handle blktrace dependency

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

It is a suggests, we can split this tool into a separate package.

but i guess the real bug here, is that these extra utils should not be
required to display help and/or version.

we have patched other ibm utils packages to suggest installing optional
components.
