I have found this interesting changelog comment from april about
disabling the lintian warning for embedded zlib:
"erlang (1:13.a-dfsg-1) experimental; urgency=low
* New upstream beta release.
* Added packages libwxgtk2.8-dev, freeglut3-dev to build dependencies to make
wxErlang buildable.
* Split erlang-nox and erlang-x11 packages into a bunch of smaller packages
for individual Erlang/OTP applications. erlang-nox and erlang-x11 are still
exist and depend on the correspondent packages.
* Overridden lintian error 'embedded-zlib' because zlib included into Erlang
VM is patched, so using system-wide zlib will lead to unknown concequences.
* Bumped standards version to 3.8.1.

Also, I found this discussion thread:

AFAIK no, because erlang's zlib is heavily patched :)"
The patching seems to be making zlib use different memory allocation
routines. At the end of the thread there is a comment about possibly
making it easier to use the system zlib in a future release.
