The "-lz" is coming from libtool's analysis of libxml2-dev's .la file. The correction for this is to fix libxml2-dev's Depends to include zlib1g-dev.

This is a debdiff for libxml2. Once that has been published to the archive, a rebuild of autogen will be needed.

[Kees Cook (kees)]

One of the autogen tests fails because it wasn't expect "core dumped" when testing Abort output. This solves it. libxml2's fix must be in the archive before rebuilding autogen.
