I think the reason they made the API dependent, is because of this line
from the Readme:
NOTE:
The image backup function requires the API to be installed.
Please ensure that yo do not install the B/A client without
the API package.

Nope. All other platforms the api isn't necessary. I agree with your
customer. You could verify it by installing regardless of the dependency
(--nodeps flag). I'm guessing Tivoli made a mistake including the api as a
dependency. Unless someone from Tivoli wants to clarify why in this case
it's suddenly necessary..

Subject: TSM 5.1 - RH 7.2 Linux client
Greetings,
First impression feedback from one of my customers " ... requiring the
installation of the API to get the baseline client to install is
wrong. It's likely that I will never, ever, need anything else from the
API package."
[root@kodiak ~]# rpm -Fvh ~jgd/TIVsm-BA.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
libApiDS.so is needed by TIVsm-BA-5.1.0-1
Can anyone out there supply a reason for this dependency?
Thank you. John Bremer
