I have a feeling that the very same bug affects python3.2 on Ubuntu
12.04. I have looked at the source code of the zlib module shipped with
python and while it's not exactly the same as gzip it seems to lack the
relevant memset to clear uninitialized garbage.

Bug description:
SRU justification:
libpam-modules is not multiarch-coinstallable because of unexplained
misgeneration of compressed manpages on the buildds in a previous run. This
makes it impossible to use pam authentication for foreign-arch software due to
the uninstallable modules, and also causes unpleasant upgrade issues.
Test case:
1) on amd64, enable armel in addition to i386 as a foreign architecture by
running:
echo 'foreign-architecture armel' >> /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch-armel
echo 'deb [arch=armel] http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ oneiric main'
>> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
2) try to install libpam-modules for the other two architectures by running
'apt-get install libpam-modules:i386 libpam-modules:armel'
3) confirm that both packages fail to install.
4) enable oneiric-proposed (including for armel above).
5) try to install libpam-modules for all three architectures by running
'apt-get install libpam-modules libpam-modules:i386 libpam-modules:armel'
6) confirm that the packages install successfully.
