https://github.com/ibm-s390-tools/s390-tools/#build-and-runtime-requirements-for-specific-tools states the package requirements. Don't remember how it's currently packaged, but if you fear too many dependencies in case of one package containing all our tools, then, yes, a subpackage for ziomon would be an option.

It's not worth the effort modifying the behavior of the --version (or
--help) option due to high regression risk and real users rely on the
tool working.

Title:
  ziomon: Packaging needs to handle blktrace dependency

  $ apt-cache policy s390-tools

  Packaging needs to handle the installation of dependencies.
