This is due to a zlib bug from five months ago, namely:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=431873

Simply upgrading zlib1g-dev on the buildd to anything other than the
broken version 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-3 will fix it. It doesn't really seem
appropriate for me to bump the build-dependency version just for this; I
don't generally like to use build-dependencies just to document bugs in
single versions of other packages. James, could you upgrade the buildd
and do a binary NMU, perhaps?

Thanks,
