Yep, the commit has landed in v2.28.

The genprotimg bootloaders are mandatory for building a Secure Execution
boot image. There were discussions whether they can be packaged in a new
.noarch.rpm / _all.deb package - see
https://github.com/ibm-s390-linux/s390-tools/discussions/150#discussioncomment-5977825.
Not sure what's the best way...

Title:
  [23.10 FEAT] Provide s390-tools on x86_64 to enable Secure Execution
  in the Cloud

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  In Progress
Status in s390-tools package in Ubuntu:

Status in s390-tools-signed package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Feature Description:

  Selected tools from the s390-tools package need to be made available
  on x86_64.

  This will enable the integration of IBM Z machines running Secure Execution in a cloud environment where users don't necessarily need to have an s390x environment.
  genprotimg (for building secure images) and pvattest (for external attestation) are examples for these tools.
  This feature requires structural changes to the s390-tools package to e.g. in the Makefile and potential changes on the distributor side to reflect their changes on the package.
