Seems IBM only provides a Ubuntu package.

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/rsct/3.2?topic=installation-verifying-linux-nodes

Whether that package would work on your current Debian installation is
anybody's guess (I am completely ignorant in these matters).

I don't think there is a process by which you could add closed-source
IBM software to a bona fide Debian depository, even the non-free one,
which only seems to contain firmware and drivers for closed-sourced
*hardware*.

I could be wrong, though.
