s390-tools, and specifically zipl part of that package is a bootloader
and only makes sense on images that are booted: e.g. for virtual
machines and bare metal. It is kind of like e.g. grub2 in x86_64 world.

squashfs is used for containers.

on amd64, squashfs does not contain grub2, thus s390-tools should be
installed just like other bootloaders are installed.

So no, s390-tools should not be installed in the squashfs, but instead
installed just before zipl is called to make image/install bootable. How
is grub2 installed in amd64 case in MAAS images?
