Re: Bug#864944: RFS: zimg/2.5.1-1 [ITP]
Yes, drop z.lib in favor or zimg.
Besides, users would typically discover the library via pkg-config with
the `zimg` keyword or use it with the link flag -lzimg. Based on that,
it sounds to me that the canonical name for the library should be
(lib)zimg, not z.lib.
Naming is hard.
