In debian, it is (also) provided by the vim-common package.  It looks 
like vim (the project) is the origin of the command.  That was Harald's 
objection to using xxd.  Unfortunately, it appears to be a reasonable 
objection.

$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/xxd
vim-common: /usr/bin/xxd

IMHO, vim and xxd are essential programs so I'm OK with using xxd. 
OTOH, I understand some people actually prefer emacs and may have a 
problem with requiring vim to be installed.  ;-/
