Package: zlib1g
Version: 1:1.2.3-9
Severity: wishlist
Tags: d-i

Let's call this an important wishlist bug (important for
Debian Installer anyway :-)

Please add the following line to your debian/shlibs file:
udeb: libz 1 zlib1g-udeb (>= 1:1.2.1)

This will allow dpkg/debhelper to properly set the dependencies for
udebs that depend on zlib1g.
Please see #345472 and #345475 for further info on this.

This will also mean that, eventually, we will be able to drop the
"Provides: zlib1g" for the udeb, but we cannot do that until other udebs
that currently depend on zlib1g and not zlib1g-udeb have been rebuilt.

It would be very much appreciated if this change could be implemented
soon as a lot of libraries that need a similar change depend on zlib1g
so fixing those makes sense only after a new zlib1g is available in
unstable.

TIA,
Frans Pop

P.S. debhelper also supports automatically generating the new udeb: line
for shlibs (see #345471), but AFAICT you have the shlibs file
"hardcoded" in the tree and thus that is not relevant.
