Well, it's contained in the upstream source package, so it would just be
a matter of including the binaries lszdev and chzdev (plus the man pages).
The other thing is that one has to get rid of the old-style config
files, e.g. by not installing them in the first place, which what Ubuntu
did.
It might be nice if the Ubuntu changes to s390-tools and
d-i/sysconfig-writer could be backported to Debian (Dimitri?).
