Package: libzzip-dev
Version: 0.12.83-8
Severity: normal

Hi,

$ zzip-config --libs
-L/usr/lib -lzzip -lz

-lz is superfluous, because programs that use -lzzip do not call zlib
directly.

This also causes dpkg-shlibdeps warnings:
 dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/freedink/usr/bin/freedink shouldn't be
 linked with libz.so.1 (it uses none of its symbols).
because executables that are linked using 'zzip-config --libs' linker
options get the libz symbols.

This could be fixed with the 'as-needed' GNU ld flag, but this can cause
other troubles (see http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/asneeded.xml), and
besides fixing zzip-config looks cleaner.

Thanks!
