Hmm, IMHO it's currently simple enought with the archive rebuild
compared to the work needed for a proper copyright.  If in addition I
try to apply my future reading abilities upstream will probably drop
zlib code at all if they dropped using it by default for now.  We
could even tweak the future if we ask upstream actively to do so -
that would really make the package simpler ...

Kind regards
