For historical reasons, the real package is zlib1g-dev. libz-dev is a
virtual package that it Provides.
sbuild has no problem with a B-D on libz-dev:native and correctly installs
zlib1g-dev (at least for native builds), but the result would probably be
more predictable if the build-dependency was on zlib1g-dev:native.
>From a purely practical point of view, ghostscript is not going to migrate
to testing with this dependency, unless the testing migration scripts are
taught that virtual packages can be :native. I'll open a bug for that now,
but I think it would be wise to change this in ghostscript as well,
probably in the same upload that resolves the FTBFS #971678.
