zkey-cryptsetup (as well as zkey) is delivered as part of the s390-tool package.

Only one subcommand of zkey-cryptsetup depends on this library, other subcommands work well without. That's why it is coded as a 'soft-dependency' checked during runtime.

So shipping it even without having the CCA library makes totally sense.

Users of secure key disk encryption (for which this tool is needed) know that they require an CCA crypto adapter together with the CCA library. So most of them have the CCA library installed anyway.
