Bug#581818: zlib version check too strict

[Alexey Salmin <alexey.salmin@gmail.com>]

Package: luatex
Version: 0.60.1-1
Severity: normal


Should't this dependency be shown in package dependencies
not matter how strict or necessary it is?
Luatex package explicetly depends on zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4)
so this implicit dependency on 1.2.3.4 breaks system upgrade:

salmin@salmin:~$ sudo dpkg --configure texlive-base

This is from file /tmp/fmtutil.NEe0Tz3m:
