I'm very wary of anything to do with this transition due to the multiple issues with it. 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.
