Comment(by bdu...@…):
I moved zlib to /usr/lib on purpose because I couldn't see any other
distro having zlib in /lib. I just checked and RH and Ubuntu have no
problem with mkfs.cramfs in /sbin with a dependency to /usr/lib/zlib.
I think that leaving zlib in /usr/lib is OK. It is really a corner case
to have /usr on a remote filesystem, not being able to access it, and
needing cramfs.
Putting zlib on /lib then has the contradicting case where a user that
mounts /usr remotely on several machines would have to update each system
separately instead of in the expected common location. That's a corner
case too.
I'd mark this as invalid, but I'm leaving it open for other comments.
