One minor moment: zlib-ng doesn't seem to be fully backward compatible.
E.g. Angie (nginx's fork with enhancements) is unable to perform gzip
compression [1] if built against zlib-ng.
It's highly likely that nginx is affected too.

As using an alternative zlib implementation could impact Reproduci

A recurrning question with the zlib package in Debian is interest in the
various alternative zlib implementations that are out there. There was
a long period where upstream zlib development seemed very stalled,
during that period people who wanted improvements started forking their
own projects.
