I think Michael Rutter (who (re-)builds for 12.04 and other Ubuntu releases when I update the Debian package) can create a local backport of zlib. I somewhat recently started to (entirely locally) build some "backports" via https://launchpad.net/~edd/+archive/ubuntu/misc solely so that Travis can use them as binary. It's good option to have.
