These patches seem good.  The xlibs-dev bit is already dealt with.  However, 
the other three patches have not been dealt with.  They pertain to cleaning
up the zlib1g dependency, so that it's not propagated to all and sundry 
(starting with libfontconfig). Since this package is the basic source of a 
long chain of packages with unnecessary zlib1g dependencies, it would
be rather nice to get it fixed.

I know zlib's not likely to bump soname (or even add features) any time soon, 
but the bogus dependencies on it do clutter up the list of bogus dependencies
something mighty.

Summary:
(1) Replace the libz-dev build dep with zlib1g-dev | libz-dev
(2) Relibtoolize builds/unix/
(3) Use .private in pkg-config for the zlib dependency
