When you do the change just test if you can unpack lib32z1 with dpkg
prior to unpacking libc6-i386 (or rather running preinst). I suggested
the Pre-Depends because policy clearly states that then the preinst of
libc6-i386 will be run before lib32z1 is unpacked. But if the dpkg
maintainer say conflicts is sufficient and you confirm that for
lib32z1 then that is perfectly fine.
