I would stab in the dark and guess 'gedit-plugins,' which pulls in
/usr/lib/s390x-linux-gnu/gedit/plugins/synctex.plugin
/usr/lib/s390x-linux-gnu/gedit/plugins/synctex/__init__.py
/usr/lib/s390x-linux-gnu/gedit/plugins/synctex/evince_dbus.py
/usr/lib/s390x-linux-gnu/gedit/plugins/synctex/synctex.py
curty@einstein:~$ apt-cache show gedit-plugins
gedit-plugins contain a set of plugins for gedit, GNOME's text editor.
