As far as I can tell it is a package bug. The pkg-config info for libpng is
incomplete and fails to list zlib as dependency for libpng. Pkg-config simply
cannot guess or smell it without the correct info in the libpng.pc file...
There is not much EB can do about it except for providing us with a machanism
to apply patches and capturing that in a recipe to reproduce the installation
on another site :).
The freetype2 bug is also a package bug. This one is "known", already fixed in
the freetype2 source and will be available in a future release:

Cheers,
