Interesting conflict with zlib 1.2.5 & gdm 2.30

[Michael Adams]

  I tried using zlib 1.2.5 from Debian experimental on some XUbuntu 
systems, and it seems to induce an eventual (non-immediate) crash of 
gdm. At first I thought it was a bug with the nouveau driver that was 
seen on some Redhat systems some months back, but that issue predates 
the release of the new zlib. My final DEB set for migrating to using the 
new zlib counts 13 packages.
