Until Ceph Pacific, installing just the "ceph" package was enough to get everything needed to deploy Ceph. However, with Quincy, ceph-volume was split off into its own package, and it is not automatically installed anymore.
Should I file a bug for this?
I would be surprised if I installed "ceph-osd" and didn't get ceph-volume, but I never thought about if "only" installing "ceph" did or did not provide it.

Ideally you want your orchestrator to supply volumes to the containers. I guess ceph-adm is slowly evolving to this concept. And on newer distributions I have noticed the feature where you type a non-existing command, the os if offering you to install it. Looks to me as intended.
