Bug Description
It is considered poor form (and against policy) for most Linux distros to embed system libs.
We link in zlib via MySQL for xtrabackup, xtrabackup_55 and xtrabackup_56. We should instead use system zlib unless there's a really good reason not to.
lintian warnings:
N: The parts we use from mysql embed their own zlib

N: The embedded forked mysql 5.6 source builds and links this statically
