Package: zlib1g-dev
Version: 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: paolo.gre...@libpf.com

Dear Maintainer,

nodejs embeds latest zlib (1.2.11) since 4.8 which is now in testing.
The target for buster is to have nodejs 8 or 9.

The nodejs maintainer patches away the embedded copy and uses the system zlib
but this may lead to suprises such as:
https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-javascript-devel/2017-November/022747.html

So please update this package.
BTW I noticed that there is a ubuntu 1.2.11 package available.

Many thanks !

Paolo
