Seems IBM only provides a Ubuntu package.

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.
