The issue is that iozone3 is in the "non-free" section. As such, I believe you have to pester a debian developer with an armel machine to build and upload it for you. Note that iozone3 is non-free only due to some sloppiness in construction: the original license forbids distributing derivative works, while the active author has granted an exception for Debian. In other words iozone3 is in non-free, as far as I am aware, only due to DFSG #8: License Must Not Be Specific to Debian. The control file has a line "XS-Autobuild: yes" as an indication that this package may safely be autobuilt. Regards, -Steve
