Well, you'd better tell the zlib maintainers to change `make install` to stop installing it as `/usr/local/lib/libz.so.1` by default, if "libz" is simply incorrect.
Less facetiously: the way Debian names library packages is that if it installs "{LIBDIR}/lib{NAME}.so.{SOVER}", then the package name is "lib{NAME}g{SOVER}", regardless of what the "project name" is.
