On the contrary, the package has been promoted to main in zesty and
artful.

No, it does not; it is a dependency of ppc64-diag, the installer itself does
not use it.

  ---Problem Description---
  Presently during installation we run `vpdupdate` command which generates vpd database. (see debian/postinst) .

  Its quite heavy weight process.  Also we have way to detect/rebuild
  database during runtime. Hence there is no need to run this command
  during installation.

  Lets remove it from installation script.
